Simplicidentata
Simplicidentata is a group of mammals that includes the rodents (order Rodentia) and their closest extinct relatives. The term has historically been used as an alternative to Rodentia, contrasting the rodents (which have one pair of upper incisors) with their close relatives the lagomorphs (which have two).〔Landry, 1999, p. 286〕 However, Simplicidentata is now defined as including all members of Glires (the clade formed by lagomorphs and rodents) that share a more recent common ancestor with living rodents than with living lagomorphs. Thus, Simplicidentata is a total group that is more inclusive than Rodentia, a crown group that includes all living rodents, their last common ancestor, and all its descendants.〔Meng et al., 2009, p. 1〕 Under this definition, the loss of the second pair of upper incisors is a synapomorphic (shared derived) feature of Simplicidentata.〔Meng and Wyss, 1994, p. 201〕 The loss of the second upper premolar (P2) has also been considered as synapomorphic for Simplicidentata, but the primitive simplicidentate ''Sinomylus'' does have a P2.〔McKenna and Meng, 2001, p. 565〕
This sense of Simplicidentata was introduced by Chuankui Li and colleagues in 1987, who ranked Simplicidentata as a superorder including Rodentia and the extinct Mixodontia, contrasted with the superorder Duplicidentata (including Lagomorpha and the extinct Mimotonida).〔Meng and Wyss, 1994, p. 199〕 In their 1997 book ''Classification of Mammals'', Malcolm C. McKenna and Susan K. Bell ranked Simplicidentata as a mirorder within the grandorder Anagalida (also including lagomorphs, macroscelideans, and some additional extinct groups). Within Simplicidentata, they recognized the orders Mixodontia (including only the extinct family Eurymylidae from the Paleocene and Eocene of Asia) and Rodentia.〔McKenna and Bell, 1997, p. 113〕 McKenna and Bell's decision to use Simplicidentata was criticized by reviewer Frederick S. Szalay, who preferred to simply place the Mixodontia within Rodentia, which would leave Simplicidentata unnecessary.〔Szalay, 1999, p. 194〕 In ''The Beginning of the Age of Mammals'' (2006), Kenneth Rose recognized a mirorder Simplicidentata, including Mixodontia, Rodentia, and the genus ''Sinomylus'' (not placed in either order), within the superorder Anagalida.〔Rose, 2006, pp. 9, 315〕
