Species Neofiber alleni True 1884

Discussion: Neofibrini. A relictual form once more widespread in the E USA ( Frazier, 1977; Hibbard and Dalquest, 1973). Although sometimes placed with Ondatra in Ondatrini ( Chaline and Mein, 1979; Repenning et al., 1990), various morphological features suggest a more distant relationship ( Carleton, 1981; Hooper and Hart, 1962; Koenigswald, 1980), as does some fossil evidence ( R. A. Martin, 1975; Zakrzewski, 1974). Alternatively, Neofiber either has been cited as Arvicolinae incertae sedis ( Gromov and Polyakov, 1977; Koenigswald, 1980; Kretzoi, 1969) or affiliated with Arvicola and Microtus in a broadly-defined Arvicolini ( Zagorodnyuk, 1990).
