| Author: | Merriam, 1897. | | Citation: | Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., 11: 277. | | Type Species: | Nelsonia neotomodon Merriam, 1897. | | Comments: | Neotomini. Viewed as a basal member of clade including Neotoma and related genera (Carleton, 1980; Engel et al., 1998; Hooper, 1954, 1960). Phylogenetic significance of banded karyotype discussed by Engstrom and Bickham (1983). Revised initially by Hooper (1954), who recognized a single species, and later by Engstrom et al. (1992), who resurrected N. goldmani as distinct from N. neotomodon. |
