Phylogeny
Morphological characters and mitochondrial cytochrome b DNA sequences showed that P. urichi belongs to the so-called trinitatus group of Proechimys species, and shares closer phylogenetic affinities with the other members of this clade: P. trinitatus, P. mincae, P. guairae, P. poliopus, P. magdalenae, P. chrysaeolus, and P. hoplomyoides.[2][3][4][5]
| Species-level cladogram of the genus Proechimys. |
| The cladogram has been reconstructed from morphological characters and mitochondrial DNA (cytochrome b) sequences.[2][3][4][5] |
