Tragulina(also known asTraguliformes) is aninfraorderofeven-toed ungulates.Only thechevrotainssurvive to the present, including thegeneraTragulus(the mouse deer) andHyemoschus,all within thefamilyTragulidae.

Taxonomy and Classification[edit]

Leptomeryx

Tragulina is aninfraorderwithin the largersuborderRuminantia,and is thesistercladeto theinfraorderPecora.Tragulina contains oneextant(living) family,Tragulidae,as well as severalextinctfamilies, although the extinct members currently classified as within Tragulina causes it to be consideredparaphyletic.[2]

Tragulina's placement withinArtiodactylacan be represented in the followingcladogram:[3][4][5][6][7]
