“…T he discovery of a new mammalian family is a rare event; the last two were described in 1974 and 2005, with the discoveries of the bumblebee bat (1) and the Laotian rock rat or Kha-nyou (Laonastes aenigmamus) (2), respectively. L. aenigmamus is a rat-like rodent with an elongated head and squirrel-like tail.…”

“…1). Jenkins et al (2) classified it as a new rodent family (Laonastidae) in the suborder Hystricognatha (currently classified as the infraorder Hystricognathi), which includes South American (e.g., guinea pigs, chinchillas), African, and Asian species (e.g., mole rats, porcupines). However, the position of Laonastidae among hystricognaths could not be conclusively determined, because morphological comparisons with extant rodent species suggested that the Laonastidae are the oldest hystricognath family ( Fig.…”

“…Tham khảo kết quả của các tác giả trước đây [11], chúng tôi đã xây dựng được danh sách gặm nhấm ở VQG PNKB gồm 35 loài thuộc 5 họ (bảng 1). [6] và được xem là loài "hóa thạch sống" của bộ Diatomydae đã bị tuyệt chủng cách đây 11 triệu năm [2]. Loài này được đặt tên Việt Nam là Chuột trường sơn khi được phát hiện và nghiên cứu chi tiết trên mẫu thu được từ VQG PNKB [3].…”

“…Prior to the findings in southern Serbia, fossils of this family were known only from the Oligocene and Miocene of Asia. The extant diatomyid Laonastes aenigmamus Jenkins et al, 2005 was discovered in Laos in 2004. A few years later, Dawson et al (2006) included this new animal in the Diatomyidae.…”
