Family ECHIMYIDAE Gray, 1825 View in CoL View at ENA

A South American species, the coypu Myocastor coypus , has been introduced in Korea. Myocastor coypus was formerly classified as a single species in the Family Myocastoridae ( Carleton & Musser 2005) . Molecular evidence supported the placement of the coypu as a monotypic Subfamily ( Myocastorinae ) under the Family Echimyidae ( Galewski et al. 2005; Upham & Patterson 2012).
