Comment:
Comments: Phyllotini. Morphologically similar to Calomys (Hershkovitz, 1962; Williams and Mares, 1978), but cladistic interpretations of morphological and molecular data represent the genus as more highly derived, usually as a basal clade to Phyllotis and various kin depending upon the taxa sampled (Braun, 1993; Engel et al., 1998; Spotorno et al., 2001; Steppan, 1993; Smith and Patton, 1999)
