Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia , 46: 232 . Type Species: Neotoma alleni Merriam 1892 Species and subspecies: 1 species: Species Hodomys alleni (Merriam 1892) Discussion: Neotomini. Maintained as a genus (e.g., Goldman, 1910 ; Ellerman, 1941 ) until arranged as a subgenus of Neotoma by Burt and Barkalow (1942) . Carleton (1980) expressed relationships and morphological differentiation of Hodomys at the generic rank, perhaps closely related to Xenomys (also see Carleton, 1973 ; Hooper, 1960 ; and Schaldach, 1960 ); parsimony and likelihood evaluations of cytochrome b data also support this rank and interpretation of kinship ( Edwards and Bradley, 2002 b ).
