Species Neotomys ebriosus Thomas 1894

Discussion: Reithrodontini. Although grouped with sigmodont rodents by Hershkovitz (1955 a), other studies have convincingly linked the genus with phyllotines ( Olds and Anderson, 1989; Pearson and Patton, 1976; Spotorno et al., 2001), usually as sister genus of Reithrodon ( Braun, 1993; Steppan, 1995) and in a clade including Euneomys and certain fossil genera ( Ortiz et al., 2000 b; Pardiñas, 1997; Steppan and Pardiñas, 1998; Steppan and Sullivan, 2000). See remarks under Reithrodon on tribal affiliation.
