These laminated-toothed forms were segregated as Nelomys by Thomas (1916 a , b ) and by Emmons and Feer (1990 ; 1997) and as Phyllomys by Moojen (1952) and Emmons et al. (2002). Emmons et al. (2002) consider Nelomys a junior synonym of Echimys and document that Phyllomys is the next available generic name. Revised by Leite (2003) , who described two new species.
