The stiff-spine spiny-rat (Proechimys echinothrix) or Tefe spiny rat, is a spiny rat species[1] found in Brazil and Colombia.
Phylogeny
Morphological characters and mitochondrial cytochrome b DNA sequences showed that P. echinothrix represents one independent evolutionary lineage within the genus Proechimys, without clear phylogenetic affinity for any of the 6 major groups of species.[2][1][3][4]
| Species-level cladogram of the genus Proechimys. |
| The cladogram has been reconstructed from morphological characters and mitochondrial DNA (cytochrome b) sequences.[2][1][3][4] |
