TYPE SPECIES: Neotomodon alstoni Merriam, 1898 . COMMENTS: Peromyscine. Conventionally ranked as a genus, later judged closely related to Peromyscus sensu lato ( Hooper and Musser, 1964b ). Synonymy as a subgenus of Peromyscus advocated by Yates et al. (1979) and J. C. Patton et al. (1981), whereas Carleton (1980 , 1989) retained Neotomodon as a genus. Various kinds of evidence suggest the phyletic association of Neotomodon, Podomys, and perhaps Habromys ( Carleton, 1980 ; Hooper and Musser, 1964b ; Linzey and Layne, 1969 ; J. C. Patton et al., 1981; Stangl and Baker, 1984b ).
