Abstract

Morphological characters used for separating Nectomys parvipes Petter, 1979 from N. squamipes melanius Thomas, 1919 are the same used for separating Nectomys from the smaller taxon Sigmodontomys J. A. Allen, 1897. Principal Component analyses grouped N. parvipes holotype with S. alfari specimens and apart from N. s. melanius specimens. Both morphology and morphometry indicated that N. parvipes bolongs to the genus Sigmodontomys
