The Guyanan spiny-rat (Proechimys hoplomyoides) is a spiny rat species found in Brazil , Guyana and Venezuela. The species was first described by George Henry Hamilton Tate in 1939.
Phylogeny
Morphological characters and mitochondrial cytochrome b DNA sequences showed that P. hoplomyoides belongs to the so-called trinitatus group of species of Proechimys, and shares closer phylogenetic affinities with the other members of this clade: P. trinitatus, P. mincae, P. guairae, P. poliopus, P. magdalenae, P. chrysaeolus, and P. urichi.[2][3][4][5]
| Species-level cladogram of the genus Proechimys. |
| The cladogram has been reconstructed from morphological characters and mitochondrial DNA (cytochrome b) sequences.[2][3][4][5] |
