Discussion: Diagnosed as genus by Thomas (1918b) and maintained at that rank in most systematic and faunal accounts ( Ellerman, 1941; Ellerman et al., 1953; Misonne, 1974; De Graaff, 1981; Meester et al., 1986; Musser and Carleton, 1993). Bohmann (1952) allocated Parotomys as another synonym of an all- inclusive genus Otomys ; Roberts (1951) elevated Liotomys to generic rank. Generic boundaries may also include sloggetti and unisulcatus, species typically classified as Otomys ; see comments and references under subfamily and Myotomys .
