Karyotype and Species Diversity of the Genus Delomys (Rodentia, Cricetidae) in Brazil
Acta Theriologica 37 (1 - 2): 163 - 169, 1992. PL ISSN 0001 -7051 Karyotype and species diversity of the genus Delomys (Rodentia, Cricetidae) in Brazil Nilson I. T. ZANCHIN, Ives J. SBALQUEIRO, Alfredo LANGGUTH, Renato C. BOSSLE, Elizabeth C. CASTRO, Luiz F. B. OLIVEIRA and Margarete S. MATTEVI Zanchin N. I. T., Sbalqueiro I. J., Langguth A., Bossle R. C., Castro E. C., Oliveira L. F. B. and Mattevi M. S. 1992. Karyotype and species diversity of the genus Delomys (Rodentia, Cricetidae) in Brazil. Acta theriol. 37: 163 - 169. Cytogenetic analyses were performed in 39 specimens of Delomys trapped in six localities distributed along the Atlantic forest range of the genus. Only two karyotypic forms were found: 2n = 72, FN = 90 to the north and 2n = 82, FN = 80 to the south, with an overlapping area in Sao Paulo and Paraná states. No hybrids were found and given the large difference in karyotype it is likely that any hybrids produced would be infertile. Based on the skin coloration and type localities of the species described it is suggested that the 2n = 72 taxon corresponds to Delomys sublineatus and the 2n = 82 form to D. dorsalis.

Rodentia: Cricetidae: Sigmodontinae) in São Paulo State, Southeastern Brazil: a Locally Extinct Species?
Volume 55(4):69‑80, 2015 THE PRESENCE OF WILFREDOMYS OENAX (RODENTIA: CRICETIDAE: SIGMODONTINAE) IN SÃO PAULO STATE, SOUTHEASTERN BRAZIL: A LOCALLY EXTINCT SPECIES? MARCUS VINÍCIUS BRANDÃO¹ ABSTRACT The Rufous-nosed Mouse Wilfredomys oenax is a rare Sigmodontinae rodent known from scarce records from northern Uruguay and south and southeastern Brazil. This species is under- represented in scientific collections and is currently classified as threathened, being considered extinct at Curitiba, Paraná, the only confirmed locality of the species at southeastern Brazil. Although specimens from São Paulo were already reported, the presence of this species in this state seems to have passed unnoticed in recent literature. Through detailed morphological ana- lyzes of specimens cited in literature, the present work confirms and discusses the presence of this species in São Paulo state from a specimen collected more than 70 years ago. Recently, by the use of modern sampling methods, other rare Sigmodontinae rodents, such as Abrawayomys ruschii, Phaenomys ferrugineous and Rhagomys rufescens, have been recorded to São Paulo state. However, no specimen of Wilfredomys oenax has been recently reported indicating that this species might be locally extinct. The record mentioned here adds another species to the state of São Paulo mammal diversity and reinforces the urgency of studying Wilfredomys oenax. Key-Words: Atlantic Forest; Scientific collection; Threatened species. INTRODUCTION São Paulo is one the most studied states in Brazil regarding to fauna.

Cricetidae: Sigmodontinae) with an Updated Summary of Valid Tribes and Their Generic Contents
Occasional Papers Museum of Texas Tech University Number 338 15 July 2016 DESCRIPTION OF A NEW TRIBE OF SIGMODONTINE RODENTS (CRICETIDAE: SIGMODONTINAE) WITH AN UPDATED SUMMARY OF VALID TRIBES AND THEIR GENERIC CONTENTS JORGE SALAZAR-BRAVO, ULYSES F. J. PARDIÑAS, HORACIO ZEBALLOS, AND PABLO TETA ABSTRACT We provide a formal recognition to a tribal level clade composed of Andinomys and Puno- mys, two extant sigmodontine genera consistently and repeatedly recovered in the phylogenetic analyses of molecular and morphological data. As currently recognized, this tribe is distributed in middle to high elevations in the Andes of Bolivia, Peru, northern Chile, and northwestern Argentina in habitats that range from high elevation grasslands and ecotonal areas to dry Puna. Within this new clade, Punomys appears as the more specialized member as it is fully restricted to rocky outcrops and their immediate surrounding areas at elevations above 4400 m on both sides of the Altiplano. In contrast, Andinomys occupies a broad elevational range (500–4000 m) and multiple habitats, from subtropical mountain forests and semiarid Puna and Prepuna to high altitudinal grasslands. Both taxa share a number of possible synapomorphies (e.g., presence of caudal enlargement of the post-zygapophysis in the second and eighth thoracic vertebrates, unilocular-hemiglandular stomachs with a large corpus and deep incisura angularis, and very similar chromosomal complements) and other diagnostic morphological features. The supratribal phylogenetic relationships of the taxon here named are not resolved even with the moderate amount of molecular data now available. In addition, we present a revised classification for the Sigmodontinae and comment on the content and context of this unique radiation of the Cricetidae. -

Our particular interest is to estimate the phyletic position of Deltamys, a tax- on endemic to a small portion of the La Plata river basin in Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay, and to assess its generic status. The three primary conclusions derived from our analyses are: (1) cotton rats (Sigmodon) are the sister group of the remaining sigmodontines, (2) the tribe Akodontini is monophyletic with moderate support, and (3) Deltamys falls outside of a clade containing all spe- cies of subgenera of Akodon yet examined, and thus we grant Deltamys status of full genus.

Mataojo, Montevideo CP 11400, Uruguay Accepted 6 June 2003 Abstract This is the first cladistic analysis of sigmodontine rodents (Cricetidae, Sigmodontinae) based on nuclear and mitochondrial DNA sequences. Two most parsimonious cladograms (7410 steps in length; CI ¼ 0.199; RI ¼ 0.523) were discovered. Sig- modontinae appears well supported. Sigmodon is sister to the remaining living sigmodontines. It is shown that Euneomys is not a phyllotine and that the Reithrodon group is not monophyletic. Results corroborate that the abrothricines form a natural group that is not part of the akodont radiation. The akodontine tribe is well supported, and is composed of five main clades, whose limits and relationships are thoroughly discussed. For instance, the scapteromyines do not form a natural group and they fall within the akodontine clade. Additionally, I present some taxonomic judgments and comments on the historical biogeography of sigm- odontines in the light of the newly discovered relationships. For example, five akodontine divisions are suggested: the Akodon, the Bibimys, the Blarinomys, the Oxymycterus, and the Scapteromys Divisions. It is shown that traditional hypotheses of sigmodontine historical biogeography are falsified by the recovered topology. Ó 2003 The Willi Hennig Society. Published by Elsevier Inc.

ABSTRACT A new tribe of sigmodontine rodents is formally defined and diagnosed. The tribe contains the extant genera Abrothrix (including Chroeomys), Chelemys, Geoxus, Pearsonomys, and Notiomys, a group of taxa distributed in the central and southern Andes and lowlands both east and west of the cordillera. The new tribe presents a unique combination of characters including nasals and premaxilla usually projected anterior to the incisors, moderately trumpeted; zygomatic plate with upper free border reduced or obsolete; and third upper molar reduced and sub-cylindrical in out-line with an internal ring-like enamel fossette. Molecular phylogenetic analyses indicate that Abrothrix is sister to a clade containing the remaining genera of the new tribe.

ABSTRACT. Phylogenetic hypotheses based on molecular markers indicate that the so-called Reithrodon group, including the extant genera Euneomys, Neotomys, and Reithrodon, formerly within the tribe Phyllotini, is not monophyletic. In turn, a new clade of tribal rank is recovered constituted by Euneomys, Irenomys, and Neotomys, comprising a small, mostly Andean sigmodontine radiation.
