Dactylomyinae Tate 1935 View in CoL

Dactylomyinae Tate 1935 View in CoL , Bull. Am. Nat. Hist., 68: 295.

Genera: 3 genera with 6 species:

Genus Dactylomys I. Geoffroy 1838 (3 species with 3 subspecies)

Genus Kannabateomys Jentink 1891 (1 species with 2 subspecies)

Genus Olallamys Emmons 1988 (2 species)

Discussion: Reig (1986) questioned placement of this subfamily in Echimyidae , and raised the possibility that dactylomyines are capromyids. Woods (1993) suggested that if West Indian spiny rats were placed in Capromyidae (see Woods, 1982) then dactylomyines might be too, but left the West Indian forms in their own subfamily, Heteropsomyinae , of the Echimyidae (see comments under Heterodsomyinae). Molecular data clearly place dactylomyine genera ( Dactylomys and Kannabateomys ) within echimyids ( Lara et al., 1996; Leite and Patton, 2002) and to the exclusion of Capromys ( Leite and Patton, 2002) .
