The Napo spiny rat (Proechimys quadruplicatus) is a spiny rat species[1] found in Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela.
Phylogeny
Morphological characters and mitochondrial cytochrome b DNA sequences showed that P. quadruplicatus belongs to the so-called goeldii group of Proechimys species, and shares closer phylogenetic affinities with the other members of this clade: P. steerei and P. goeldii.[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] |
