Treatment

Phyllotis Waterhouse, 1837 View in CoL . Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1837:27.

REVIEWED BY: M. D. Carleton (MDC); A. Langguth (AL); M. A. Mares (MAM); O. P. Pearson (OPP); R. H. Pine (RHP)( Chile); J. J. Pizzimenti (JJP); D. F. Williams (DFW).

COMMENT: Revised by Pearson, 1958, Univ. Calif. Publ. Zool., 56(4):391-496, and Hershkovitz, 1962, Fieldiana Zool., 49:217-463. Includes Paralomys ; see Hershkovitz, 1962:217, and Pearson and Patton, 1976, J. Mammal., 57:339-350. Galenomys was listed as a subgenus of Phyllotis, without comment, by Pearson and Patton, 1976:339, but see Hershkovitz, 1962:468, and Pearson, 1958, Univ. Calif. Publ. Zool., 56(4):393, 395, who considered Galenomys a distinct genus. Hershkovitz, 1962:217, included Auliscomys and Graomys in this genus but see Pearson and Patton, 1976:341, and Gardner and Patton, 1976, Occas. Pap. Mus. Zool. La. St. Univ., 49:1 -48, who considered them distinct genera. Formerly included micropus, which was transferred to Auliscomys by Simonetti and Spotorno, 1980, An. Mus. Hist. Nat. Valparaiso, 13:285-297, who also compared karyotypes and morphometries of Phyllotis, Auliscomys, and Andinomys. Loxodontomys was considered a synonym of Phyllotis (represented by micropus) by Hershkovitz, 1962:217; but Loxodontomys was considered a nomen nudum by Pine et al., 1979, Mammalia, 43:356-357. Hershkovitz, 1962:462-463, included hypogaeus as a distinct species of Phyllotis; but see Massoia, 1976 - 1977, Rev. Invest. Agro. INTA, ser. 5, Patalogia Vegetal, 13: 15-20, and Williams and Mares, 1978, Ann. Carnegie Mus., 47(9):201, 218, who included hypogaeus in Eligmodontia typus as a synonym. Subfamily Hesperomyinae; see comment under Cricetidae.
