description: <i>Thomasomys</i> Coues, 1884. Am. Nat., 18: 1275. REVIEWED BY: R. DeBry (RDB); A. Langguth (AL); R. H. Pine (RHP). COMMENT: Includes <i>Wilfredomys;</i> see Hershkovitz, 1962, Fieldiana Zool., 46:21, Arata, 1967, <i>in</i> Anderson and Jones, p. 230, and Pine, 1980, Mammalia, 44: 195-202. Barlow, 1969, Life Sei. Contrib. R. Ontario Mus., 75:24-26, considered <i>Wilfredomys</i> a distinct genus. Includes <i>Delomys;</i> see Ellerman, 1941:366, and Cabrera, 1961:425; but also see Avila Pires, 1960, Boi. Mus. Nac. Rio de Janeiro, 220:1-6. Formerly included <i>Rhipidomys macconnelli,</i> <i>Wiedomys pyrrhorhinos</i> (see Hershkovitz, 1959, Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., 72:5, 9), <i>Aepeomys lugens,</i> and <i>A. fuscatus</i> (see Gardner and Patton, 1976, Occas. Pap. Mus. Zool. Louisiana State Univ., 49:26, 32). Cabrera, 1961:431, and Walker <i>et al.,</i> 1975:766, included <i>Aepeomys</i> in <i>Thomasomys.</i> This genus is in need of revision; its relationship to other thomasomyines needs clarification; see Hooper and Musser, 1964, Misc. Publ. Mus. Zool. Univ. Michigan, 123:21-22, Hershkovitz, 1966, Z. Saugetierk., 31: 125, and Cabrera, 1961:425. Reviewed, in part, by Carleton, 1973, Misc. Publ. Mus. Zool. Univ.
