Juscelinomys, a genus of akodontine rodents allied to Oxymycterus, has been known only from the nine individuals of the type series of J. candango. Two rats recently collected in eastern Bolivia are herein described as new species of the genus. Molecular evidence from sequences of the cytochrome ♭ gene confirms the morphological evidence that Juscelinomys is a closely related sister group to Oxymycterus. From its literature account, the newly described genus Brucepattersonius Hershkovitz, 1998, seems more distantly related to Juscelinomys than Oxymycterus does"--P. [1].
