Hystricomorpha (from Ancient Greek ὕστριξ, (hústrix), meaning "porcupine", and μορφή (morphḗ), meaning "form")^[2] is a word that for many different families and orders of rodents. It has had many meanings.Generally, it means any rodent that has a hystricomorphous zygomasseteric system. This definition includes the Hystricognathi, Ctenodactylidae, Anomaluridae, and Pedetidae.

Families

This list of families is from the taxonomy of Marivaux et al. 2002 and Marivaux, Vianey-Liaud & Jaeger 2004. They used parsimony analysis on many rodent fossils. Their results made the suborder Sciuravida polyphyletic and invalid. The symbol "†" is means that the group is extinct.
