Phylogeny
Morphological characters and mitochondrial (cytochrome b) DNA sequences showed that P. simonsi represents one independent evolutionary lineage within the genus Proechimys, without clear phylogenetic affinity for any of the six major groups of species.[3][4]Script error: No such module "Footnotes".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".[5]
| Species-level cladogram of the genus Proechimys. |
| The cladogram has been reconstructed from morphological characters and mitochondrial DNA sequences.[3][4][6][5] |
