Abstract

Phenacomys occurs in the Middle and Late Pleistocene of Kansas. It cannot be derived from any known Pliophenacomys and is now thought by us to be an Early Irvingtonian immigrant to North America. "Pliomys" deeringensis is a Phenacomys, and there is no record of Pliomys ever having occurred in North America.
