| Author: | Thomas, 1897. | | Citation: | Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 6, 19: 500. | | Type Species: | Oryzomys instans Thomas, 1895. | | Comments: | Thomasomyini. Arranged with oryzomyines (Reig, 1984) or suggested as more closely related to thomasomyines (Musser and Carleton, 1993); molecular analyses (cytochrome b) support the latter tribal affinity, in a clade composed of (Rhipidomys (Chilomys Thomasomys)) (D’Elía et al., 2003; Smith and Patton, 1999). Aspects of morphology reported by Carleton (1973) and Voss and Linzey (1981). |
