Dear All,

    Does anyone know if this paper (on a newly discovered rodent family) is still in press or if it has actually been released yet?  Not often one sees a new extant family of Mammalia being described.  Here's the citation:

     Paulina D. Jenkins, C. William Kilpatrick, Mark F. Robinson, and Robert J. Timmins.  2005 (December 2004 issue). Morphological and molecular investigations of a new family, genus and species of rodent (Mammalia: Rodentia: Hystricognatha) from Lao PDR.  Systematics and Biodiversity, 2(4):419-454.

    ----Thanks,
            Ken
