liomys การใช้

• Finding that the formerly recognized genus " Liomys " is paraphyletic, they subsumed it into " Heteromys ".
• Most authorities prior to this ( Alexander and Riddle, 2005; Patton, 2005 ) treated " Liomys " as a separate genus.
• It was formerly placed in the genus " Liomys ", which is now recognized to be paraphyletic and has been subsumed into " Heteromys ".
• The more usual form of the adjective is " leios " ????? ( which I assume is the source of " Lio-" in " Liomys " ).
• :A paper from the University of Nebraska State Museum says, " The generic name " Liomys " is a combination of two Greek words, " Lio " ( plain ) and " mys " ( mouse ), referring to the absence of the specialized characteristics of " Heteromys " . " I think that nails it for our mice, given the contrast with " hetero-".
