Type Species: Neotoma alleni Merriam 1892

Species and subspecies: 1 species:

Species Hodomys alleni (Merriam 1892)

Discussion: Neotomini. Maintained as a genus (e.g., Goldman, 1910; Ellerman, 1941) until arranged as a subgenus of Neotoma by Burt and Barkalow (1942). Carleton (1980) expressed relationships and morphological differentiation of Hodomys at the generic rank, perhaps closely related to Xenomys (also see Carleton, 1973; Hooper, 1960; and Schaldach, 1960); parsimony and likelihood evaluations of cytochrome b data also support this rank and interpretation of kinship ( Edwards and Bradley, 2002 b).
