GENUS Tylomys

Author:Peters, 1866.
Citation:Monatsb. K. Preuss. Akad. Wiss. Berlin, 1866: 404.
Type Species:Hesperomys nudicaudus Peters, 1866.
Comments:Tylomyini. Closely related to Ototylomys (see previous account). Phylogenetic evaluations of cytochrome b sequences arrange Tylomys either as sister-group to Sigmodontinae (D’Elía et al., 2003) or as a member of a polytomy that includes Arvicolinae-Neotominae-Sigmodontinae (D’Elía et al., in press). Nominal species listed follow Hall (1981:626), who remarked that "Study … may show that some of the species are only subspecies." Such taxonomic study is overdue.
