Taxonomic treatment, normalized

Taxon records comprising a single accepted subspecies extracted from Mammal Species of the World, 3rd Edition with its normalised classification hierarchy and synonyms. See the denormalized example below.

taxonID = 1
scientificName = Mammalia
taxonRank = class
taxonomicStatus = valid
nomenclaturalCode = ICZN

taxonID = 10400001

taxonRank = order
taxonomicStatus = valid
nomenclaturalCode = ICZN
taxonRemarks = Traditionally included in Marsupialia; included in Ameridelphia (see Aplin and Archer, 1987; Marshall et al., 1990; and Szalay, 1982); but not Microbiotheriidae (Marshall et al., 1990; contra Reig et al., 1987).

taxonRemarks = Placed in the order Polyprotodontia by Kirsch (1977); also see Aplin and Archer (1987). Does not include Dromiciops; see Kirsch and Calaby (1977). Includes Caluromyidae, Glironiidae, and Marmosidae sensu Hershkovitz (1992a).

namePublishedIn = London Med. Repos., 15: 308.
taxonRemarks = Hershkovitz (1992a) restricted the Didelphinae to the genera Chironectes, Didelphis, Philander, and Lutreolina. Hershkovitz (1997) further restricted the Didelphinae by establishing Chironectinae and Lutreolininae for Chironectes and Lutreolina, respectively.
