Unreviewed
Taxonomic remark Family not accepted by Li et al., 2007, who state: ... there seems to be no single derived character shared by Dawsonolagus and those genera included in the Strenulagidae. In fact, the diagnosis for the trenulagidae consists of essentially all primitive features (Averianov and Lopatin 2005), which indicates that Strenulagidae likely represents a grade rather than a clade of early lagomorphs. Without a phylogenetic analysis of the Asian Eocene taxa and their relatives as a basis for their classification, we are not convinced of the validity of the Strenulagidae. Fostowicz-Frelik et al., 2015 refer the type genus Strenulagus to "Lagomorpha family indet." [details]
