Thrichomys is a genus of South American rodents in the family Echimyidae. [1] It contains at least five species, found in Bolivia, Brazil and Paraguay. [2] [3] They are as follows:

Phylogeny

The closest relatives of the genus Thrichomys are two clades consisting of pairs of Myocastorini genera: Callistomys (the painted tree-rat) and Myocastor (the coypu or nutria) in one clade, and Hoplomys (the armored rat) and Proechimys in the other.

The cladogram has been reconstructed from mitochondrial and nuclear DNA characters. [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10]
