GENUS Neotomys

Author:Thomas, 1894.
Citation:Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 6, 14: 346.
Type Species:Neotomys ebriosus Thomas, 1894.
Comments:Reithrodontini. Although grouped with sigmodont rodents by Hershkovitz (1955a), other studies have convincingly linked the genus with phyllotines (Olds and Anderson, 1989; Pearson and Patton, 1976; Spotorno et al., 2001), usually as sister genus of Reithrodon (Braun, 1993; Steppan, 1995) and in a clade including Euneomys and certain fossil genera (Ortiz et al., 2000b; Pardiņas, 1997; Steppan and Pardiņas, 1998; Steppan and Sullivan, 2000). See remarks under Reithrodon on tribal affiliation.
