Comment:
Comments: Akodontini. Diagnosed as a third genus of scapteromyines, along with Kunsia and Scapteromys (see Hershkovitz, 1966c), and so maintained by Reig (1980, 1981, 1984, 1986). More closely related to Akodon and kin than to Kunsia-Scapteromys according to parsimony distillations of cytochrome b sequence data (D'Elía et al., in press). In analyses of mitochondrial and nuclear genes, D'Elía (2003) recognized Bibimys as one of five major clades within Akodontini
