Scotinomys Thomas 1913 View in CoL , Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 8, 11: 408.

Type Species: Hesperomys teguina Alston 1877

Species and subspecies: 2 species:

Species Scotinomys teguina ( Alston 1876)

Species Scotinomys xerampelinus ( Bangs 1902)

Discussion: Baiomyini . Until diagnosed by Thomas, species associated here had been affiliated with Akodon (e.g., Bangs, 1902) and later the genus with akodontines ( Vorontsov, 1959). Common ancestry with Baiomys inferred on the basis of shared morphological traits ( Carleton, 1980; Carleton et al., 1975; Hooper, 1960; Hooper and Musser, 1964 b) and phylogenetic evaluation of mitochondrial and nuclear genes (D’Elía, 2003; Engel et al., 1998), a relationship weakened by karyological banding data ( Rogers and Heske, 1984). Also see comments under Baiomys . Revised by Hooper (1972); for other aspects of biology and systematics, see Carleton et al. (1975), Hooper and Carleton (1976), and Rogers and Heske (1984).
