Abstract
Subterranean tuco-tucos (genus Ctenomys) are a speciose group of South American hystricognath rodents, often taken as an example of explosive speciation. The fourth intron of the rhodopsin gene (567bp) and partial sequence of the second intron of the vimentin gene (403bp) were used to assess phylogenetic relationships among 20 species of Ctenomys and 3 octodontid species. The main groups of Ctenomys species previously reported in the literature (e.g. the ?boliviensis? and the ?mendocinus? groups) are confirmed, as is the lack of resolution of basal nodes. This star-like pattern of diversification of tuco-tucos relative to their sister taxon, the octodontids, was evaluated with the new nuclear dataset and an expanded mitochondrial dataset, providing further and independent evidence that Ctenomys underwent a phase of rapid diversification early in its history.
