Aepeomys Thomas 1898 , Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 7, 1: 452.

Type Species: Oryzomys lugens Thomas 1896

Species and subspecies: 2 species:

Species Aepeomys lugens ( Thomas 1896)

Species Aepeomys reigi Ochoa G., Aguilera, Pacheco, and Soriano 2001

Discussion: Thomasomyini. Synonymized under Thomasomys by Osgood (1933 c), an arrangement followed by Ellerman (1941), Cabrera (1961), and Handley (1976); generic status maintained by Gyldenstolpe (1932), Gardner and Patton (1976), and Musser and Carleton (1993). Morphological recognition contrasted to Thomasomys sensu stricto by Ochoa G. et al. (2001); karyology reported by Gardner and Patton (1976) and Aguilera et al. (1994, 2000). Diagnosis and specific contents amended by Voss et al. (2002), who removed Aepeomys fuscatus J. A. Allen (1912) to Handleyomys and Aepeomys vulcani Thomas (1898) to Thomasomys (see those accounts).
