Heteromyinae Gray 1868 View in CoL

Heteromyinae Gray 1868 View in CoL , Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1868: 201.

Genera: 2 genera with 13 species:

Genus Heteromys Desmarest 1817 (8 species with 19 subspecies)

Genus Liomys Merriam 1902 (5 species with 14 subspecies)

Discussion: Contains the Recent genera Heteromys and Liomys , following Wood (1935), Wahlert (1985, 1993), and Ryan (1989 a). However, a review of the generic limits is warranted because biochemical data ( Rogers, 1990) suggest that Heteromys as currently defined is paraphyletic relative to Liomys . Williams et al. (1993:100) provided a key to genera.
