Should this be Gerbillidae, or Gerbillinae, as the Muridae page seems to suggest?

Subfamily Gerbillinae in the family Muridae. Some older taxonomies consider it a cricetid, but molecular studies have shown that it's more closely related to true mice than to hamsters. Gerbillidae as a family is occasionally seen in the paleontological literature. --Aranae 08:10, Dec 16, 2004 (UTC)
