The Euarchontoglires are a mammalian superorder based on molecular genetic research, combining the Glires clade, which consists of the Rodentia and the Lagomorpha, with that of the Euarchonta, a clade consisting of the Scandentia, the Primates and the Dermoptera.
The Euarchontoglires probably split from the Laurasiatheria sister group about 85 to 95 million years ago during the Cretaceous. This hypothesis is supported by fossil as well molecular evidence.
The hypothesized relationship among the Euarchontoglires is as follows:
Euarchontoglires
|--Glires
| |--rodents (Rodentia)
| |--rabbits, hares, pikas (Lagomorpha)
\--Euarchonta
|--tree shrews (Scandentia)
\--N.N.
|--flying lemurs (Dermoptera)
\--N.N.
|
\--primates (Primates)
