Subfamily
Heteromyinae Gray, 1868
.
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
.
