Hipótesis filogenéticas basadas en marcadores moleculares indican que el denominado grupo Reithrodon, incluyendo los géneros vivientes Euneomys, Neotomys y Reithrodon, anteriormente dentro de la tribu Phyllotini, no es monofilético. En cambio, un nuevo clado de rango tribal es recuperado, constituido por Euneomys, Irenomys y Neotomys, comprendiendo una pequeña radiación de sigmodontinos mayormente andinos. Dentro de este nuevo clado, aquí nominado y diagnosticado, Irenomys emerge como un taxón con varios rasgos especializados que sugieren una temprana divergencia en el marco de la explotación del bosque de Nothofagus. Los miembros vivientes de la nueva tribu están caracterizados por varios rasgos morfológicos, incluyendo incisivos superiores surcados, regiones interorbitarias angostas y de bordes paralelos, interparietales agrandados y molares simplificados e hipsodontes. Este nuevo escenario filogenético implica un alto grado de convergencia en la morfología cráneo-dentaria entre varios linajes de roedores sigmodontinos. La posición tribal de varias formas extintas de roedores sigmodontinos de coronas altas (e.g., Panchomys, Tafimys), anteriormente ubicadas en el grupo Reithrodon, necesita ser revisada.
Phylogenetic hypotheses based on molecular markers indicate that the so-called Reithrodon group, including the extant genera Euneomys, Neotomys, and Reithrodon, formerly within the tribe Phyllotini, is not monophyletic. In turn, a new clade of tribal rank is recovered constituted by Euneomys, Irenomys, and Neotomys, comprising a small, mostly Andean sigmodontine radiation. Within the new clade, here named and diagnosed, Irenomys appears as a taxon with many specialized traits, which suggests an early divergence associated with the exploitation of Nothofagus forests. The living members of the new tribe are characterized by several morphological features including grooved upper incisors, narrow and parallel-sided interorbital regions, enlarged interparietals, and simplified and hypsodont molars. This new phylogenetic scenario implies a high degree of craniodental convergence among several lineages of sigmodontine rodents. The tribal position of several highcrowned extinct forms of sigmodontine rodents (e.g., Panchomys, Tafimys), formerly allocated to the Reithrodon group, is in need of revision.
