22DDD4D62B45A81A2A1FCC93FA06A26C.taxon	discussion	Discussion: Does not include Myocastor, and apparently represents an entirely intra-Caribbean radiation (Woods 1989 a, b; Woods and Howland, 1979); but see comments under Myocastoridae. Woods (1982: 386 - 387) included West Indian Heteropsomyinae in this family, but here this group is assigned to the Echimyidae (see comments under Heteropsomyinae). Varona (1974) and Corbet and Hill (1991: 203) classified most of the following species in either of two genera (Capromys or Plagiodontia), whereas Woods (1989 a, b) separated them into several distinct subfamilies and genera.	en	Wilson, Don E., Reeder, DeeAnn (2005): Order Rodentia - Family Capromyidae.

64EC4DE2DF5AACACDDE7F5E347147090.taxon	discussion	Discussion: Reviewed by Kratochvíl et al. (1978), Varona and Arredondo (1979), and Borroto (2002). The status of Brachycapromys, Mysateles, Mesocapromys, Pygmaeocapromys, Paracapromys, and Stenocapromys as genera or subgenera is unresolved (Hall, 1981; Rodriquez et al., 1979; Woods and Howland, 1979). This group is in need of revision to standardize the taxonomic levels proposed for the Cuban radiation of capromyids with taxonomic categories established for Hispaniola. The living Cuban capromyids are placed in three genera (Capromys, Mesocapromys, Mysateles) as accepted by the majority of Cuban systematists (see Kratochvil et al., 1978 and Borroto, 2002). Woods et al. (2001) demonstrated that Mysateles is paraphyletic, and placed melanurus within the genus Mesocapromys. In addition to the extant forms described below, 13 extinct forms of Capromys like hutias have been described (Varona and Arredondo, 1979): Capromys antiquus, C. arredondoi, C. latus, C. pappus, C. robustus, Mesocapromys barbouri, M. beatrizae, M. delicatus, M. gracilis, M. kraglievichi, M. minimus, M. silvai, and Mysateles jaumei. Some of these were described in separate subgenera (i. e. Pygmaeocapromys, Brachycapromys, Palaeocapromys).	en	Wilson, Don E., Reeder, DeeAnn (2005): Order Rodentia - Family Capromyidae.

68DC3C28C32B9D422D982A88E4CEEEA5.taxon	discussion	Discussion: " Capromys " geayi (Pousarges, 1899) was described from Venezuela, where it was collected in the mountains between La Guayra and Caracas. It was placed in its own genus (Procapromys) by Chapman (1901: 322). The type specimen is Mus. Nat. Hist. Nat. (Paris) No. 1898 - 1785 (1834 A). No further specimens have ever been collected, and it is possible that the collecting locality was incorrectly recorded. This specimen is likely a juvenile Capromys from Cuba erroneously reported from Venezuela.	en	Wilson, Don E., Reeder, DeeAnn (2005): Order Rodentia - Family Capromyidae.

A5FC7CD29454F157B6D6AE2C7DDD96B9.taxon	discussion	Discussion: The first mention of this species name is as Mus pilorides Pallas 1778, however, Tate (1935: 309) noted that it is not associated with this genus. Sometimes placed in the subgenus Capromys; see Hall (1981: 863). This species is very variable in size, coloration, and habits. There are five named subspecies (ciprianoi, doceleguas, gundlachianus, pilorides, and relictus; see Varona (1983 a: 77) and Borroto Paez et al., 1992: 98). No genetic differentiation of cytochrome b was reported for the two subspecies (ciprianoi and relictus) on the Isle of Youth (Woods et al., 2001). However, gundlachianus from Cayo Fragoso was reported to show over 5 % sequence divergence and here we are elevating it to species level. Macrocapromys acevedo described by Arredondo (1958: 10) is not distinct at the generic level, and is probably synonymous with pilorides. Arredondo's spelling was acevedo, but this was noted as [sic] by Varona (1974) who changed the spelling to acevedoi. This spelling was followed by Hall (1981) but it should be noted that acevado is the correct usage according to Brodkorb (1961). Karyptype has 2 n = 40; FN = 64 (Hsu and Benirschke, 1971; Milišnikov et al., 1990).	en	Wilson, Don E., Reeder, DeeAnn (2005): Order Rodentia - Family Capromyidae.

Includes arboricolus of Kratochvíl et al. (1978: 48), who placed it in the genus Mysateles, subgenus Leptocapromys. However, this specimen is considered to be a young female M. melanurus by Varona (1986: 7). We have examined this specimen, and concur with Varona. Woods et al. (2001) concluded that Mysateles was paraphyletic and that the affinities of melanurus are with taxa of the genus Mesocapromys rather than with Mysateles p. prehensilis or M. p. gundlachi.	en	Wilson, Don E., Reeder, DeeAnn (2005): Order Rodentia - Family Capromyidae.

6FDC056534D36C0D0EC99498AC3DA651.taxon	discussion	Discussion: Originally described in a separate genus from I. portoricensis because the enamel folds of the cheekteeth connect to form separate laminar plates, but a large series of each species indicates that this character is clinal, and the two forms are very closely related.	en	Wilson, Don E., Reeder, DeeAnn (2005): Order Rodentia - Family Capromyidae.

30F6B6674C4B33DF014212E6931F62F3.taxon	discussion	Discussion: Even though the type locality is Puerto Rico, the species was apparently introduced there by Amerindians and the natural range is restricted to Hispaniola. Reported as extinct by Hall (1981: 868), but this species survived in Hispaniola and Puerto Rico until the last few decades, and may still survive in certain remote areas (Woods et al., 1985).
