COMMENT: Pearson, 1958, Univ. Calif. Publ. Zool., 56(4):452, Pearson and Patton, 1976, J. Mammal., 57:339, and Spotorno and Walker, 1979, Arch. Biol. Med. Exp., 12:83-90, included this species in subgenus Loxodontomys of Phyllotis ; Hershkovitz, 1962, Fieldiana Zool., 46:399, did not consider micropus in a separate subgenus; Pine et al., 1979, Mammalia, 43:356-357, considered Loxodontomys a nomen nudum, and reviewed the species' distribution.
