COMMENTS: Hershkovitz (1944) arrayed most nominal taxa of water rats as subspecies of N. squamipes , a view maintained by Cabrera (1961). Gardner and Patton (1976) intimated the mixed composition of squamipes ; Reig (in Honacki et al., 1982; 1986) has offered enumerations of valid species and probable synonymies. Fullscale generic revision warranted. See Ernest (1986, Mammalian Species, 265).
