| Author: | Merriam, 1894. | | Citation: | Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia, 46: 232. | | Type Species: | Neotoma alleni Merriam, 1892. | | Comments: | Neotomini. Maintained as a genus (e.g., Goldman, 1910; Ellerman, 1941) until arranged as a subgenus of Neotoma by Burt and Barkalow (1942). Carleton (1980) expressed relationships and morphological differentiation of Hodomys at the generic rank, perhaps closely related to Xenomys (also see Carleton, 1973; Hooper, 1960; and Schaldach, 1960); parsimony and likelihood evaluations of cytochrome b data also support this rank and interpretation of kinship (Edwards and Bradley, 2002b). |
