Comment:
Comments: Argued by Patton et al. (2000) as the oldest name for those water rat populations in western Amazonia with a 2n = 38-42 karyotype, including garleppii, which Reig (in Honacki et al., 1982) and Barros et al. (1992) recognized as a species. More than a single species is likely represented among the listed synonyms, whether they belong to one of the other species recognized here or to some other species yet to be determined
