Synonymized within †pungens by Gunnell (1989:57). †Olbodotes copei Osborn, 1902:205. type Locality. San Juan Basin Torrejonian, New Mexico, USA. comments. Early Paleocene. Synonymized within †pungens by Gunnell (1989:57). †Dracontolestes Gazin, 1941 †Dracontolestes Gazin, 1941:13. type species. †Dracontolestes aphantus Gazin, 1941:13. comments. Early to middle Paleocene, North America. Recognized within the †family Mixodectidae by Gunnell (1989:56). †Dracontolestes aphantus Gazin, 1941 †Dracontolestes aphantus Gazin, 1941:13. type Locality. Paleocene, Dragon Canyon, Emery County, Utah, USA. comments. Early to middle Paleocene. Recognized within the †family Mixodectidae by Gunnell (1989:56). superorder glires linnaeus, 1758 Glires Linnaeus, 1758:56. comments. Originally included lagomorphs, rodents, and Rhinoceros. The Rhinoceros were removed shortly after, with the notion of Glires linking rodents and lagomorphs persisting today. Significant support has been obtained for the recognition of Glires by recent research, giving increasing support for monophyly between the Rodentia and Lagomorpha. Some authors suggest limited or no support for Glires, including Wood (1957:424), Graur et al. (1996:333), Arnason et al. (2002:8154), Adkins et al. (2003:413), and Misawa and Janke (2003:320). In contrast, support for the acceptance of Glires includes Landry (1999:283), Liu et al. (2001:1786), Madsen et al. (2001:610), Meng and Wyss (2001:1), Murphy et al. (2001a:614), Huchon et al. (2002:1053), Lin et al. (2002:119), Meng et al. (2003:1), Douzery and Huchon (2004:922), Meng (2004:93), Asher et al. (2005:1091), and Kriegs et al. (2007:160).

Synonymized within Rodentia by McKenna and Bell (1997:114). Order Rosores Gray, 1821:302. comments. Included the lagomorphs. Later in the same paper Gray employed order Rosores a second time to include the family Cheiromydae (p. 309), which are primates that are now included in the family Daubentoniidae (Gray, 1863:151). Synonymized within Rodentia by McKenna and Bell (1997:114). Order Rodentiformes Kinman, 1994:37. comments.

The ability of the different genera of extinct taxa to glide is poorly known, so it is likely that many species will be revealed as nongliders in the future as specimens with postcranial remains are discovered.
