description: <i>Neofiber</i> True, 1884. Science, 4:34. TYPE SPECIES: <i>Neofiber alleni</i> True, 1884. COMMENTS: A relictual form once more widespread in the eastern USA (see Frazier, 1977, and Hibbard and Dalquest, 1973). Although sometimes placed with <i>Ondatra</i> in the tribe Ondatrini (Chaline and Mein, 1979; Kretzoi, 1969; Repenning et al., 1990), a variety of morphological features conveys their very distant relationship (Carleton, 1981; Hooper and Hart, 1962; Koenigswald, 1980), as does fossil evidence (Martin, 1975; Zakrzewski, 1974). Alternatively, <i>Neofiber</i> either has been cited as Arvicolinae <i>incertae sedis</i> (Gromov and Polyakov, 1977; Koenigswald, 1980) or affiliated with <i>Arvicola</i> and <i>Microtus</i> in a broadly-defined tribe Arvicolini (Zagorodnyuk, 1990).
