Phylogenetic taxonomy (de Queiroz and Gauthier, 1990, 1992) entails the naming of clades, a procedure distinct from and sec? ondary to the process of clade recognition. Current procedures for defining taxon names in terms of common ancestry were developed in the context of well-resolved (usually dichotomously branching) phy? logenies. Because of the recent discovery of a fossil bearing importantly on the origin of rodents (Meng et al., 1994), we intro? duce here a new way of stating phyloge? netic definitions for the names of clades
