| | The Dormouse Hollow: General Biology |
 | | Holden's use of the name Myoxidae is followed here, but this family sometimes is called Gliridae or Muscardinidae. |
 | | Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1966), among others, recognized two additional myoxid subfamilies: the Platacanthomyinae, considered here to be a subfamily of the Muridae; and the Seleviniinae, often designated as the full family Seleviniidae but treated here, in accordance with Holden, as a synonym of the Leithiinae. |
 | | Dormice look like squirrels but are smaller, and one genus (Glirulus) resembles chipmunks. |
