 Comments
       
  Comment: Comments: Considered a subgenus of Proechimys by Moojen (1948) and Woods (1993) but Lara et al. (1996) demonstrated that Trinomys is not the sister taxon of Proechimys based on mtDNA sequences and should be regarded as a separate genus. Revised by Lara and Patton (2000)
