| Author: | Voss, 1988. | | Citation: | Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 188: 321. | | Type Species: | Ichthyomys trichotis Thomas, 1897. | | Comments: | Ichthyomyini. Described as a species of Ichthyomys, trichotis was thereafter associated first with Rheomys (Cabrera, 1961; Tate, 1932h) and then Anotomys (Handley, 1976). Generic distinctiveness and phylogenetic relationships substantiated by Voss (1988); also see Jenkins and Barnett (1997). Anderson (1997) reported a single specimen of Chibchanomys species indeterminate from NW Bolivia (La Paz). |
