Comment:
Comments: Originally described in the genus Isothrix by Wagner (1845) and included in Isothrix by Tate (1935) and Ellerman (1940). Included in Thrichomys apereoides by Cabrera (1961) but recognized as a distinct species based on chromosomal differentiation (Bonvicino et al., 2002) and sequence divergence (Braggio and Bonvicino, 2004). Karyotype has 2n=34; FN=64 (Bonvicino et al., 2002)
