Taxonomy. Reithrodon fossor Thomas, 1899 , “ Salta Province, N. Argentina.”

The species fossor was originally used by O. Thomas in 1925 as the type species of Chelemyscus . Holotype of Reithrodon fossor is a composite including a skull referable to Euneomys and a skin belonging to Paynomys. Because the skull was originally designated as the type, the name remains available.
