Phylogeny

The closest relatives of the genus Thrichomys are two clades consisting of pairs of Myocastorini genera: Callistomys (the painted tree-rat) and Myocastor (the coypu or nutria) in one clade, and Hoplomys (the armored rat) and Proechimys in the other.

gollark: Well, technically yes.
gollark: It's *generally* not good for gaming.
gollark: Works *sometimes*, that is.
gollark: It *works*, if you *need* to use something, but yes, it is slow and the GUI is kind of horrible.
gollark: Also `wine`, for *some* stuff.
