Как на русском будет Pholidota?
В русской вике фолидоты это отряд панголинов, а маниде - семейство ящеровых. Я всегда знал что ящер и панголин это синонимы в данном случае. Помогите разобраться.

Теперь некоторые ископаемые формы.

Metacheiromys is an extinct genus of mammal from the Mid Eocene of what is now Wyoming.

Metacheiromys looked somewhat like a modern mongoose, and measured around 45 centimetres (18 in) long. It had long claws and a narrow head similar in shape to that of an armadillo. The shape of its claws suggests that it probably dug through the soil in search of food, most likely small invertebrates. Unlike modern anteaters, it had powerful canine teeth, but it did have very few cheek teeth, instead using horny pads in its mouth to crush its food.[1]
Metacheiromys and its relatives are thought to be related to pangolins.


Эоманис всем известен...

Eomanis is the earliest known true (and scaled) pangolin from the Middle Eocene of Europe. Fossils collected from the Messel Pit, Germany, indicate that this 50 cm long animal was rather similar to living pangolins. However, unlike modern pangolins, its tail and legs did not bear scales. According to the stomach contents of the excellently preserved Messel specimens, Eomanis’ diet consisted of both insects and plants. Its contemporary was the related, albeit scale-less, anteater-like Eurotamandua.


Но был ещё и некроманис (не и названьице).

Necromanis (literally "dead pangolin") is an extinct genus of pangolin from the Miocene of France. Necromanis is descended from the Eocene pangolins of genus Eomanis.

From what can be derived from the fossil specimens, the species of Necromanis were, for the most part, identical to modern Manis pangolins in anatomy, diet, and behavior.

There are at least three species recognized.
