Pseudoryzomys
Hershkovitz, 1962
.
Fieldiana Zool., 31:208
.
TYPE SPECIES:
Oryzomys wavrini
Thomas, 1921
(=
Hesperomys simplex
Winge, 1887
).
COMMENTS: Associated with phyllotines by
Hershkovitz (1962)
, but excluded from same by
Olds and Anderson (1989)
. Oryzomyine characteristics illuminated by
Voss and Myers (1991)
, who eschewed the "traditional phenetic practices of Neotropical muroid classification" and left the genus as
Sigmodontinae
incertae sedis
pending phylogenetic studies of its tribal-level affinity. See
Voss and Myers (1991:418)
on the formal availability of the genus-group name.
