Modern range of the subfamily is Asian (only Allactaga tetradactyla occurs in north Africa) and its evolutionary roots are in that continent. The first allactagine may have evolved from Asian late Oligocene Gobiosminthus (Zazhigin and Lopatin, 2000c) or Parasminthus (Wang and Qiu, 2000; McKenna and Bell, 1997, tr...
