GENUS Rheomys

Author:Thomas, 1906.
Citation:Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 7, 17: 421.
Type Species:Rheomys underwoodi Thomas, 1906.
Comments:Ichthyomyini. All named forms suggested as conspecific under trichotis by Hershkovitz (1966c) but Voss (1988) recognized four species. Formerly included trichotis (Tate, 1932), a species later designated as the type of Chibchanomys (Voss, 1988). Neorheomys, diagnosed as a subgenus (Goodwin, 1959a), was placed in full synonymy by Voss (1988). Separation from Ichthyomys questioned by Ellerman (1941) and Hall (1981); relationships, generic stature, and Mesoamerican endemism illuminated by Voss (1988).
