description: <i>Phyllotis</i> Waterhouse, 1837. Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1837:27. REVIEWED BY: M. D. Carleton (MDC); A. Langguth (AL); M. A. Mares (MAM); O. P. Pearson (OPP); R. H. Pine (RHP)(Chile); J. J. Pizzimenti (JJP); D. F. Williams (DFW). COMMENT: Revised by Pearson, 1958, Univ. Calif. Publ. Zool., 56(4):391-496, and Hershkovitz, 1962, Fieldiana Zool., 49:217-463. Includes <i>Paralomys;</i> see Hershkovitz, 1962:217, and Pearson and Patton, 1976, J. Mammal., 57:339-350. <i>Galenomys</i> was listed as a subgenus of <i>Phyllotis,</i> without comment, by Pearson and Patton, 1976:339, but see Hershkovitz, 1962:468, and Pearson, 1958, Univ. Calif. Publ. Zool., 56(4):393, 395, who considered <i>Galenomys</i> a distinct genus. Hershkovitz, 1962:217, included <i>Auliscomys</i> and <i>Graomys</i> in this genus but see Pearson and Patton, 1976:341, and Gardner and Patton, 1976, Occas. Pap. Mus. Zool. La. St. Univ., 49:1 -48, who considered them distinct genera. Formerly included <i>micropus,</i> which was transferred to <i>Auliscomys</i> by Simonetti and Spotorno, 1980, An. Mus. Hist. Nat. Valparaiso, 13:285-297, who also compared karyotypes and morphometries of <i>Phyllotis, Auliscomys,</i> and <i>Andinomys.</i> <i>Loxodontomys</i> was considered a synonym of <i>Phyllotis</i> (represented by <i>micropus)</i> by Hershkovitz, 1962:217; but <i>Loxodontomys</i> was considered a <i>nomen nudum</i> by Pine <i>et al.,</i> 1979, Mammalia, 43:356-357. Hershkovitz, 1962:462-463, included <i>hypogaeus</i> as a distinct species of <i>Phyllotis;</i> but see Massoia, 1976 - 1977, Rev. Invest. Agro. INTA, ser. 5, Patalogia Vegetal, 13: 15-20, and Williams and Mares, 1978, Ann. Carnegie Mus., 47(9):201, 218, who included <i>hypogaeus</i> in <i>Eligmodontia typus</i> as a synonym. Subfamily Hesperomyinae; see comment under Cricetidae. ISIS NUMBER: 5301410008042000000.
