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.

Genus-level cladogram of the Myocastorini
The cladogram has been reconstructed from mitochondrial and nuclear DNA characters.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10]
