Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1868:201 . COMMENTS: Contains the Recent genera Heteromys and Liomys , following Wood (1935) , Wahlert (1985) , and Ryan (1989a) . However, a review of the generic limits is warranted since biochemical data ( Rogers, 1990 ) suggested that Heteromys as currently defined is paraphyletic relative to Liomys .
