 Comments
       
  Comment: Comments: Sigmodontinae incertae sedis. Diagnostic traits seem to combine aspects of Neacomys, Oryzomys, and Akodon, and both Reig (1987) and Smith and Patton (1999) acknowledged the enigmatic affinities of Abrawayaomys as uncertain. Certain cranial features of Abrawayaomys suggest an archaic 'thomasomyine,' perhaps distantly related to the other endemic genera of SE Brazil (e.g., see comments under Delomys)
