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.
