GENUS Hoplomys
| Author: | J. A. Allen, 1908. | | Citation: | Bull Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 24: 649. | | Type Species: | Hoplomys truei J. A. Allen, 1908 (= Echimys gymnurus Thomas, 1897). | | Comments: | Revised by Handley (1959a). Patton and Reig (1989:90) demonstrated that this genus is very close to Proechimys, and may be congeneric, a view supported by DNA sequence analyses (Lara et al., 1996). |
