description: <i>Zygodontomys J. A.</i> Allen, 1897. Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 9:38. TYPE SPECIES: <i>Oryzomys cherriei</i> J. A. Allen, 1895 (= <i>Oryzomys brevicauda</i> J. A. Allen and Chapman, 1893). COMMENTS: First revised by Hershkovitz (1962), then thought to include southern populations now allocated to <i>Bolomys lasiurus</i> (see Maia and Langguth, 1981; Reig, 1987; Voss and Linzey, 1981). Definition of genus emended and species taxonomy revised by Voss (1991a); Reig (in Reig et al., 1990a) listed four species as valid. Karyology summarized by Gardner and Patton (1976) and Reig et al. (1990a). Hershkovitz (1962) considered <i>Zygodontomys</i> a member of the phyllotine group, an association disputed by other studies (Hooper and Musser, 1964a; Olds and Anderson, 1989; Pearson and Patton, 1976). Unsettled phylogenetic position expressed as Sigmodontinae <i>incertae sedis</i> (Reig, 1984; Voss, 1991a).
