Discussion: Phyllotini. Pearson (1958) utilized Auliscomys, Graomys, and Loxodontomys as distinctive subgenera, whereas Hershkovitz (1962) placed all three, plus Paralomys, in complete synonymy—see respective accounts for their reinstatement as genera. Full generic revisions initiated by Pearson (1958) and Hershkovitz (1962), followed by extensive refinement of species definitions and distributions as a result of multifaceted research over the past 25 years—see especially Pearson (1972), Pearson and Patton (1976), Spotorno (1976), Spotorno and Walker (1983), Walker et al. (1984), and Steppan (1998). Steppan (1998) discussed alternative interpretations of interspecific relationships and patterns of historical biogeography within the genus.
