Tylomys: Comments
Comment:
Comments: Tylomyini. Closely related to Ototylomys (see previous account). Phylogenetic evaluations of cytochrome b sequences arrange Tylomys either as sister-group to Sigmodontinae (D'Elía et al., 2003) or as a member of a polytomy that includes Arvicolinae-Neotominae-Sigmodontinae (D'Elía et al., in press). Nominal species listed follow Hall (1981:626), who remarked that 'Study may show that some of the species are only subspecies.' Such taxonomic study is overdue
