E11F878EFFD8FFD7FF38FF90F93BDBC9.taxon	discussion	COMMENTS: Reviewed by Honeycutt et al. (1991). The family has been traditionally divided into two subfamilies: Bathyerginae with grooved upper incisors (Bathyergus); and Georychinae with ungrooved upper incisors (Cryptomys, Georychus, Heliophobius, Heterocephalis). Honeycutt et al. (1991: 59) did not support such groupings.	en	Charles A. Woods (1993): Order Rodentia - Suborder Hystricognathi. In: Don E. Wilson, DeeAnn M.

E11F878EFFD8FFD7FF3AFDA7FBE3DCC9.taxon	discussion	COMMENTS: Originally used as a tribe (Tribus) by Tullberg under his Order Glires, Suborder Simplicidentati, the first time this natural group was united together without various hystricomorphous forms. Includes Hystricidae, Thryonomyoidea, Bathyergoidea, " Caviomorpha ", and the Eocene-Oligocene Franimorpha. The term " Caviomorpha " is inappropriate since it is unlikely all New World forms are part of a single radiation, and the Caviidae are the least characteristic family of the group, so it is best to refer to these collectively as the New World hystricognaths, and discuss them in their superfamily groupings (Chinchilloidea, Cavioidea, Erethizontoidea, and Octodontoidea). See Tullberg (1899: 69 - 71) and Wood (1985: 478 - 495) for definitions of hystricognath characters and lists of taxa.	en	Charles A. Woods (1993): Order Rodentia - Suborder Hystricognathi. In: Don E.

E11F878EFFDEFFD0FF2AF670FDF4DEC4.taxon	discussion	COMMENTS: Revised by Osgood (1943: 137). Viscaccia Oken, 1816 has precedence over Lagidium, but Lagidium was adopted in preference to Viscaccia by suspension of the Rules (Opinion 110, International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature, 1929 a). However, names from Oken's 1916 " Lehrbuch der Naturgeschichte " are non-Linnaean and not available (Hershkovitz, 19496: 289) and neither an opinion nor suspension of the Rules was required for the recognition of Lagidium (Hershkovitz, 19496: 296).	en	Charles A.

Emmons and Feer (1990: 200) considered the correct species name to be paragayensis Oken, 1816, which does predate Cuvier's name, but Cabrera (1961: 602) noted that Oken's names are not recognized. If Oken's name is accepted, then the type species for Sphiggurus becomes paragayensis (see Tate, 1935: 307).	en	Charles A. Woods (1993): Order Rodentia - Suborder Hystricognathi. In: Don E.

E11F878EFFD0FFDFFF1AF85EFABDDAD2.taxon	discussion	COMMENTS: Husson (1978: 451) reserved the use of porcellus to denote domesticated guinea pigs, which are probably derived from tschudii (Corbet and Hill, 1991: 201), but also see Hiickinghaus (1961: 96), who regarded porcellus as a synonym of aperea. This species may be a domesticated animal with no established wild population. K. F. Koopman (pers. comm.) believes that N South American populations may be feral domestic guinea pigs; but see comment under aperea.	en	Charles A. Woods (1993): Order Rodentia - Suborder Hystricognathi.

E11F878EFFD4FFDBFF25FB13FAECD6E8.taxon	discussion	COMMENTS: This assemblage of 56 named species is in need of revision. The species are variable in chromosome number, but fairly uniform in morphology, suggesting that the major radiation of species was in the Pleistocene (Roig and Reig, 1969: 666; Reig et al. (19906: 89). Ctenomys is most closely allied to the octodontid Octodontomys. Whether the group should be recognized as a subfamily (Ctenomyinae, Reig, 1958), or as a family is debated. Although the designation of subfamily within the Octodontidae best reflects the evolutionary history of the group, it is more common to treat the group as a distinct family specialized for fossorial life. Glanz and Anderson (1990) gave a cladogram and list of synapomorphies for the Ctenomyidae. Here 39 species are recognized. Reig (1986: 408) stated that his analysis indicated there may be 44 valid species. See Reig et al. (19906) for an overview of ctenomyid taxonomy, and Cook et al. (1990: 22 - 24) for a discussion of the possible significance of the extensive chromosomal variation in Ctenomys and octodontids (2 n = 10 - 102), which is nearly as great as the known variation for all mammals.	en	Charles A.

Waterhouse's original type locality was " from Chile ", but in 1848 he added that the locality was from the Valle de las Cuevas near the Volcano of Peteroa, which would make the locality in Argentina (Pearson, 1984).

Ctenomys is often placed here as subfamily, and is closely related to octodontids (see comments under Ctenomyidae and in Cook et al., 1990: 22 - 23).

If West Indian Spiny Rats are placed in Capromyidae (see Woods, 1982) then dactylomyines might be too, but here the West Indian forms are left in Echimyidae in their own subfamily (see comment under Heteropsomyinae).	en	Charles A.

E11F878EFFC0FFCFFF2AFED2FBE4DB86.taxon	discussion	COMMENTS: Traditionally divided into 2 subgenera (Proechimys with 9 species groups distributed in most areas of tropical South America, and Trinomys with four species distributed in Eastern Brazil). This group is very complex with many species and subspecies. Reviewed, in part, by Reig et al. (1980: 291 - 312), Gardner and Emmons (1984), and Patton (1987). May include Hoplomys (see Patton and Reig, 1989). The specific level taxonomy of the group is controversial, and is in need of a major revision. Most of the named forms in Corbet and Hill (1991) and Nowak (1991) are used here pending a revision of the group.	en	Charles A. Woods (1993): Order Rodentia - Suborder Hystricognathi. In: Don E.

E11F878EFFC0FFCEFF16F585FB16DD9B.taxon	discussion	COMMENTS: Subgenus Proechimys. Hershkovitz (1948 a) resurected guyannensis E. Geoffroy, 1803 (Cat. Mamm. Mus. Nat. Hist. Nat., p. 194) for this species as this name antedates cayennensis. However, see Appendix I for reasons why this publication, and hence guyannensis E. Geoffroy, 1803 is not available. Formerly included warreni (see Husson, 1978: 436), guaime, oris, poliopus, trinitatis, and urichi (see Reig et al., 1980). Includes cherriei; see Petter (1978), and Reig et al. (1980). Sometimes includes bolivianus, chrysaeolus, decumanus, magdalenae, mincae, and oconnelli (see Cabrera, 1961), but Corbet and Hill (1991: 205) provisionally recognized each as a distinct species.

E11F878EFFC4FFCBFF2AFD5CFD1CDC07.taxon	discussion	COMMENTS: Named by Anthony to reflect perceived relationship between Heteropsomys and Dasyprocta. Expanded by Kraglievich (1965) and Patterson and Pascual (1968 b) to include Proechimys and associate genera. Modified by Woods (1982: 386) when West Indian Spiny Rats classified with capromyids. West Indian Spiny Rats are transitional in characters between Echimyidae and Capromyidae, and here are placed in their own subfamily within the Echimyidae until the two families are revised. Varona (1974: 73) placed all West Indian Spiny Rats in the genus Heteropsomys. However, there are clear differences between the forms on each island, so the original generic names are maintained here, except that Homopsomys is combined with Heteropsomys (Woods, 1989 a, b).	en	Charles A.

Varona (1974) and Corbet and Hill (1991: 203) classified most of the following species in either of two genera (Capromys or Plagiodontia), whereas Woods (1989 a, b) separated them into several distinct subfamilies and genera.	en	Charles A.

E11F878EFFC5FFCAFF39FEC2FDD3DA76.taxon	discussion	COMMENTS: Reviewed by Kratochvil et al. (1978), Varona and Arredondo (1979), and Silva and Garrido (in press). The status of Brachycapromys, Mysateles, Mesocapromys, Pygmaeocapromys, Paracaprontys and Stenocapromys as genera or subgenera is unresolved (Hall, 1981; Rodriguez et al., 1979; Silva and Garrido, in press; Woods and Howland, 1979). This group is in need of revision to standardize the taxonomic levels proposed for the Cuban radiation of capromyids with taxonomic categories established for Hispaniola. Until the group is revised, the Cuban capromyids are placed in three genera as accepted by the majority of Cuban systematists (Capromys, Mesocapromys, Mysateles). In addition to the extant forms described below, 13 extinct forms of Capromys-like hutias have been described (Silva and Garrido, in press; Varona and Arredondo, 1979): Capromys antiquus, C. arredondoi, C. latus, C. pappus, C. robustus, Mesocapromys barbouri, M. beatrizae, M. delicatus, M. gracilis, M. kraglievichi, M. minimus, M. silvai, and Mysateles jaumei. Some of these were described in separate subgenera (i. e. Pygmaeocapromys, Brachycapromys, Palaeocapromys), but the arrangement in Silva and Garrido (in press) is followed until a revision of the family is completed.	en	Charles A.

E11F878EFFC5FFCAFF34F9C9FD87D838.taxon	discussion	COMMENTS: " Capromys " geayi (Pousarges, 1899) was described from Venezuela, where it was collected in the mountains between La Guayra and Caracas. It was placed in its own genus (Procapromys) by Chapman (1901: 322). The type specimen is Mus. Nat. Hist. Nat. (Paris) No. 1898 - 1785 (1834 A). No further specimens have ever been collected, and it is probable that the collecting locality was incorrectly recorded. This specimen is likely a juvenile Capromys from Cuba erroneously reported from Venezuela.	en	Charles A. Woods (1993): Order Rodentia - Suborder Hystricognathi. In: Don E. Wilson, DeeAnn M.

E11F878EFFC5FFCAFF1EFB30FB61D6CC.taxon	discussion	COMMENTS: The first mention of this species name is as Mus pilorides Pallas 1778, however, Tate (1935: 309) noted that it is not associated with this genus. Sometimes placed in the subgenus Capromys; see Hall (1981: 863). This species is very variable in size, coloration, and habits. There are four named subspecies (doceleguas, gundlachianus, pilorides, and relictus; see Varona, 1983 a: 77), and one new subspecies currently being described from the south of the Isle of Youth (Borroto and Camacho, in litt.). Macrocapromys acevedo described by Arredondo (1958: 10) is not distinct at the generic level, and is probably synonymous with pilorides.	en	Charles A.

The type locality has been clarified by Silva and Garrido (in press), who identified the correct name for the locality as a yet unnamed small cay adjacent to Cayo Largo in the Archipiélago de los Canarreos. Varona (1970) incorrectly applied the name Cayo Majâ to this islet. It is known that this hutia does not occur on the adjacent Cayo Majâ (three cays to the northwest of the Cayo Largo) based on a 1990 expedition to this region by R. Borroto (pers. comm.).

E11F878EFFC7FFC8FEE4F44EF980D56B.taxon	discussion	COMMENTS: Raised to specific level by Varona (1986: 7). Closely related to Mysateles prehensilis. It is proposed that there are two prehensile-tailed tree hutias on the Isle of Youth. According to Varona (1986), this species is confined to forested areas of Roystones regia, Colpothrinax wrightii, and Copernicia curtissi north of the central savanna of the island, and M. meridionalis is confined to completely different forest types on the southwest side of the island south of the savanna. Mysateles gundlachi is described on the basis of the baculum, which is distinctly broad-based unlike that of M. meridionalis; see also comments under meridionalis and prehensilis.	en	Charles A.

E11F878EFFC7FFC8FF3CFFD2F9FADA81.taxon	discussion	COMMENTS: Lesson separated Capromys prehensilis as Mysateles poeppingi; see Varona (1979: 4 - 5). Kratochvil et al. (1978: 15) treated Mysateles as a genus in their new classification. Mysateles was included in Capromys by Woods (1989 a: 781), Hall (1981: 863), and Corbet and Hill (1991: 203). Cuban systematists universally accept Mysateles as a valid genus, and there is biochemical and morphological evidence to support this (A. Camacho, pers. comm.). Mysateles is recognized here as a distinct genus until a review of all Capromyidae is completed to establish how much intraisland variation is required for recognition of taxa at the generic level.	en	Charles A.

It is debated whether Amblyrhiza and Clidomys became extinct before or after humans arrived in the West Indies. This family is often placed near the Chinchillidae based on similar laminar plates of molariform teeth. One genus (Quemisia) is very similar in dental morphology to capromyids, however, and it is possible to derive all of the conditions seen in heptaxodontids from dental patterns found within the Capromyidae. This family should be placed adjacent to the Capromyidae.	en	Charles A. Woods (1993): Order Rodentia - Suborder Hystricognathi. In: Don E. Wilson, DeeAnn M.

E11F878EFFFAFFF4FF37F61BFD9BDEF7.taxon	discussion	COMMENTS: Myocastor is not a capromyid and was referred to the family Myocastoridae by Ameghino (1904) and Woods and Howland (1979: 114). Although Patterson and Pascual (1968 b: 6) included Myocastor and several fossil forms as the subfamily Myocastorinae of the Echimyidae, it is generally agreed that Myocastor is not an echimyid.	en	Charles A.
