The Pedetidae are a family of mammals from the rodent order.[3][4][5][6][7][8] The two living species, the springhares, are distributed throughout much of southern Africa and also around Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda.[9] Fossils have been found as far north as Turkey.[10] Together with the anomalures, Pedetidae forms the suborder Anomaluromorpha. The fossil genus Parapedetes is also related.[10]

Taxonomy

The family includes one living genus and three extinct genera. The Asian fossil Diatomys was previously included,[10] but is now classified in the family Diatomyidae with the Laotian rock rat.
