Discussion: Akodontini (S Andean clade). Alpha systematics revised by Osgood (1925), who viewed Chelemys and Geoxus as synonyms (see comments under those genera and in Pearson, 1984, and Reig, 1987). Sister genus to Chelemys according to maximum parsimony and likelihood analyses of cytochrome b sequences (Smith and Patton, 1999).
