Type Species: Myoxus chrysurus Zimmermann 1780

Discussion: Formerly included pictus by some authors (e.g., Pictet, 1843; Goldman, 1916; Thomas, 1916 e, f; Tate, 1935; Moojen, 1952), now in genus Callistomys (see account above); armatus , grandis , macrurus , and rhipidurus , which are now placed in the genus Makalata (see that account); and blainvillei , braziliensis, dasythrix , lamarum , nigrispinus , thomasi , and unicolor , which are now placed in the genus Phyllomys (see that account and Emmons et al., 2002). The genus is under review by L. Emmons (pers. comm.), and generic assignment of the species listed is likely to change.
