Mesocapromys is a genus of rodent in the subfamily Capromyinae.[1] The genus is restricted to Cuba and associated islands.
Systematics
Mesocapromys contains the five following species:[1]
- Cabrera's hutia (Mesocapromys angelcabrerai)
- Eared hutia (Mesocapromys auritus)
- Black-tailed hutia (Mesocapromys melanurus)
- Dwarf hutia (Mesocapromys nana)
- San Felipe hutia (Mesocapromys sanfelipensis)
Phylogeny
Within Capromyidae, the closest relative of Mesocapromys is the genus Mysateles. Both genera are the sister group to Capromys, and then Geocapromys is a more distant genus. In turn, these four genera belong to the tribe Capromyini, and are the sister group to Plagiodontia.
