GENUS Aepeomys
| Author: | Thomas, 1898. | | Citation: | Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 7, 1: 452. | | Type Species: | Oryzomys lugens Thomas, 1896. | | Comments: | Thomasomyini. Synonymized under Thomasomys by Osgood (1933c), an arrangement followed by Ellerman (1941), Cabrera (1961), and Handley (1976); generic status maintained by Gyldenstolpe (1932), Gardner and Patton (1976), and Musser and Carleton (1993). Morphological recognition contrasted to Thomasomys sensu stricto by Ochoa G. et al. (2001); karyology reported by Gardner and Patton (1976) and Aguilera et al. (1994, 2000). Diagnosis and specific contents amended by Voss et al. (2002), who removed Aepeomys fuscatus J. A. Allen (1912) to Handleyomys and Aepeomys vulcani Thomas (1898) to Thomasomys (see those accounts). |
