Abstract
Ctenomys is a highly diversified polytypic genus of South American Caviomorph rodents, of the family Octodontidae. With their burrowing habits, the species of this genus, commonly named tuco-tucos, are the South American equivalent of the subterranean North American pocket gophers (family Geomyidae).
