Phyllomys is a genus of arboreal spiny rat, geographically restricted to the forests of eastern Brazil.[1][2]
The etymology of the genus name derives from the two ancient greek words φύλλον (phúllon), meaning "plant leaf", and μῦς (mûs), meaning "mouse, rat".[3][4]
Phylogeny
Phyllomys is the sister genus to Echimys, and then to Makalata. These taxa are closely related to the genera Pattonomys and Toromys. In turn, these five genera share phylogenetic affinities with a clade containing the bamboo rats Dactylomys, Olallamys, Kannabateomys together with Diplomys and Santamartamys.[5]

| The cladogram has been reconstructed from mitochondrial and nuclear DNA characters.[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][5] |
Systematics
There are thirteen named species in the genus. These species have frequently been placed in the genus Echimys.[14]
