Discussion:
Reithrodontini. Although grouped with sigmodont rodents by
Hershkovitz (1955
a
)
, other studies have convincingly linked the genus with phyllotines (
Olds and Anderson, 1989
;
Pearson and Patton, 1976
;
Spotorno et al., 2001
), usually as sister genus of
Reithrodon
(
Braun, 1993
;
Steppan, 1995
) and in a clade including
Euneomys
and certain fossil genera (
Ortiz et al., 2000
b
; PardiƱas, 1997; Steppan and PardiƱas, 1998;
Steppan and Sullivan, 2000
). See remarks under
Reithrodon
on tribal affiliation.
