Discussion: Akodontini. Morphological traits resemble those of Oxymycterus , considered its probable nearest generic relative by Hershkovitz (1998). Parsimony and likelihood trees derived from cytochrome b data instead most closely relate the genus to Blarinomys , within a clade that includes Lenoxus , Kunsia , and Scapteromys (D’Elía et al., 2003; Smith and Patton, 1999). With recognition of this distinctive genus, attention should be directed to documenting the status and distributions of the newly described forms, most known only from their type locality and based on differentiating traits that intimate age and-or individual variation.
