Comments: | Contains the Recent genera Heteromys and Liomys, following Wood (1935), Wahlert (1985, 1993), and Ryan (1989a). However, a review of the generic limits is warranted because biochemical data (Rogers, 1990) suggest that Heteromys as currently defined is paraphyletic relative to Liomys. Williams et al. (1993:100) provided a key to genera. |
