Les Eocardiidae (ou Eocardidae) forment une famille de rongeurs fossiles. rdf:langString
Eocardiidae es una familia extinta de roedores histricomorfos que vivieron en Sudamérica desde el Oligoceno superior hasta el Mioceno medio. Parecen ser un taxón polifilético de Cavioidea basales. rdf:langString
The Eocardiidae are an extinct family of caviomorph rodents from South America. The family is probably ancestral to the living family Caviidae, which includes cavies, maras, and capybaras and their relatives. McKenna and Bell (1997) divided eocardiids into two subfamilies, for two of the oldest genera ( and ) and for remaining genera. Kramarz (2006) has recommended the abandonment of these subfamilies, as the genera placed in Luantinae appear to represent basal eocardiids, rather than a specialized side branch. The latter hypothesis had been proposed by Wood and Patterson (1959). rdf:langString
