GENUS Otonyctomys
Author: | Anthony, 1932. | Citation: | Am. Mus. Novit., 586: 1. | Type Species: | Otonyctomys hatti Anthony, 1932. | Comments: | Nyctomyini. Although singularly distinctive, many morphological traits associate Otonyctomys with Nyctomys as its closest relative (see above and Hooper and Musser, 1964a), but its phylogenetic position and other aspects of systematic biology have received little attention. |
