Patton's spiny-rat (Proechimys pattoni) is a spiny rat species[1] found in Brazil and Peru.
Phylogeny
Morphological characters and mitochondrial cytochrome b DNA sequences showed that P. pattoni belongs to the so-called gardneri group of Proechimys species. Within this clade, Proechimys pattoni is more closely related to P. gardneri than to P. kulinae.[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] |
