Species of mammals belonging to the spiny rat family of rodents
The Minca spiny rat (Proechimys mincae) is a species of
rodent in the family
Echimyidae.
[2] It is
endemic to
Colombia.
Phylogeny
Morphological characters and mitochondrial cytochrome b DNA sequences showed that P. mincae belongs to the so-called trinitatus group of Proechimys species, and shares closer phylogenetic affinities with the other members of this clade:
P. trinitatus,
P. guairae,
P. poliopus,
P. magdalenae,
P. chrysaeolus,
P. urichi, and
P. hoplomyoides.
