VerminsTry to think it as a way to "simplify" a definition without making it the rodent/lagomorpha/carnivora team (or a weird frankstein name that mixes the names). As per your list, the first ones were rodents and there's enough of "rodentia" in the group so a generic moniker works even if it's not the most logical/factual.
Funny that we don't have a gopher yet ^^;
