The toros or brush-tailed rats, genus Isothrix, are a group of spiny rats found in tropical South America, particularly in the Amazon Basin.[1]

Description

Toros look like large rats with soft fur on the body and long guard hairs on the scaly tail.[2] Head and body is 18-27.5 cm and tail is 17–30 cm.[1] Weight is 320-570 grams.

Natural history

These animals appear to be arboreal, based on the shape of their hind feet.[1] They are thought to spend the day in holes in the ground near trees.

Systematics

The etymology of the genus name Isothrix corresponds to the two ancient greek words {{wikt-lang|grc|ἴσος}} ({{grc-transl|ἴσος}}), meaning "of equal length", and {{wikt-lang|grc|θρίξ}}, {{wikt-lang|grc|τρίχα|τριχός}} ({{grc-transl|θρίξ, τριχός}}), meaning "hair".[3][4] The etymology of the genus name synonym Lasiuromys corresponds to the three ancient greek words {{wikt-lang|grc|λάσιος}} ({{grc-transl|λάσιος}}), meaning "furry, with tufted hair", {{wikt-lang|grc|οὐρά}} ({{grc-transl|οὐρά}}), meaning "animal tail", and {{wikt-lang|grc|μῦς}} ({{grc-transl|μῦς}}), meaning "mouse, rat".[3][4]

There are currently five species recognized in the genus Isothrix:[5]

  • Isothrix bistriata - Yellow-crowned brush-tailed rat
  • Isothrix negrensis - Rio Negro brush-tailed rat
  • Isothrix pagurus - Plain brush-tailed rat
  • Isothrix sinnamariensis - Sinnamary brush-tailed rat
  • Isothrix barbarabrownae[6]

There does appear to be good support for the monophyly of three species found in this genus.[2]

Phylogeny

Isothrix is a member of the Echimyini clade of arboreal Echimyidae rodents.[7] Although tentatively considered an echimyine, it has been suggested that Isothrix may not be particularly closely related to other members of its subfamily.[2] This is confirmed by molecular phylogenies in which Isothrix appears as a distant relative of the three clades of Echimyini: (i) Echimys, Phyllomys, Makalata, Pattonomys, and Toromys ; (ii) the bamboo rats Dactylomys, Olallamys, Kannabateomys together with Diplomys and Santamartamys ; and (iii) the arboreal eumysopines Mesomys and Lonchothrix.[8]

The taxon Callistomys pictus was previously member of the genus Isothrix, but most authors considered it distinct enough to warrant a separate genus.[9] This distinctness has been confirmed by DNA comparative studies in which Callistomys even appears to branch with members of a distinct tribe (i.e., Myocastorini) of the subfamily Echimyinae.[16][7][8] The arboreal genera of the subfamily Echimyinae therefore constitute a polyphyletic assemblage.
