豪豬亞目(學名:Hystricomorpha)在歷史上曾有過許多含義。廣義上是指所有具有豪豬型顴弓-咬肌結構(Zygomasseteric system)的齧齒目動物(跳鼠類除外),包括豪豬下目(Hystricognathi)、櫛趾鼠科(Ctenodactylidae)、鱗尾松鼠科(Anomaluridae)、跳兔科(Pedetidae)。分子及形態學研究表明,將鱗尾松鼠科與跳兔科列入其中是有爭議的。根據Carleton與Musser的研究[1],這兩科被分為鱗尾松鼠亞目(Anomaluromorpha)。
豪豬亞目(又被稱為Entodacrya或Ctenohystrica)的現代定義是指將櫛趾鼠與豪豬下目聯繫起來的分類學假設。[1]支持這一說法有很多形態學以及分子系統發生學的證據。如果此假說是真實的,那傳統觀點中的松鼠形亞目將被推翻,成為一個並系群。
豪豬類動物,或至少是豚鼠小目中的成員,有時會被認為是非齧齒類。[2][3][4]不過大多數分子與遺傳學研究都表明齧齒動物是單系群。[5][6][7][8][9][10]而支持齧齒類為多系群的證據被認為是源自長枝吸引(long branch attraction)的現象。[11]
豪豬類動物於漸新世早期出現於南美洲[12],這裡此前的陸地哺乳動物只有後獸下綱、貧齒總目、南蹄目。豪豬類是從非洲橫渡大西洋到達南美洲的。同一類型的遷徙還發生在靈長目中,這些都發生於南北美洲生物大遷徙之前。不過這些說法至今尚存爭議。
分類
以下的分類是根據Marivaux等人對早期齧齒類化石進行的支序分類學分析而來的。[13][14]他們的研究支持豪豬亞目假說,並表明McKenna與Bell定義的先松鼠亞目(Sciuravida)[15]是多系群,因而並不成立。
