Author: | Varona, 1970. | Citation: | Poeyana, 73: 8. | Type Species: | Capromys(Mesocapromys) auritus Varona, 1970. | Comments: | Original use of name was as a subgenus, which was elevated to a genus by Kratochvíl et al. (1978:15). All members of this genus are small (less than 1 kg), and construct large nests made of sticks, unlike Mysateles. |
