discussion
Discussion: Viewed as closely related to O. unisulcatus (Bohmann, 1952; Roberts, 1951; Taylor et al., 1989; Thomas, 1918 b), but details of sperm morphology question the closeness of their relationship (Bernard et al., 1991). Taxonomy, distributional records, and ecology reviewed by Lynch and Watson (1992) and Lynch (1994); karyotypic and genetic data and comparisons supplied by Contrafatto et al. (1992 a).
Order Rodentia - Family Muridae
