Discussion:
Phyllotini
.
Pearson (1958)
utilized
Auliscomys
,
Graomys
, and
Loxodontomys
as distinctive subgenera, whereas
Hershkovitz (1962)
placed all three, plus
Paralomys
, in complete synonymy—see respective accounts for their reinstatement as genera. Full generic revisions initiated by
Pearson (1958)
and
Hershkovitz (1962)
, followed by extensive refinement of species definitions and distributions as a result of multifaceted research over the past 25 years—see especially
Pearson (1972)
,
Pearson and Patton (1976)
,
Spotorno (1976)
,
Spotorno and Walker (1983)
,
Walker et al. (1984)
, and Steppan (1998). Steppan (1998) discussed alternative interpretations of interspecific relationships and patterns of historical biogeography within the genus.
