Species Tapecomys primus Anderson and Yates 2000

Discussion: Phyllotini . A large phyllotine, as big as Andinomys edax , but morphologically, chromosomally, and genetically well differentiated from that species. Conflicting views of relationships and validity of generic status obtained in phylogenetic analyses—sister genus to the Andalgalomys Salinomys clade according to parsimony analyses based on cytochrome b sequences ( Anderson and Yates, 2000; D’Elía et al., 2003), or a species of Graomys (including Andalgalomys ) as suggested by consensus trees based on morphological characters ( Steppan, 1993; Steppan and Sullivan, 2000). Also see remarks under Andalgalomys .
