Calomys
Vesper mice are rodents belonging to a genus ''Calomys''. They are widely distributed in South America. Some species are notable as the vectors of Argentinian hemorrhagic fever and Bolivian hemorrhagic fever. The genus was originally named ''Hesperomys'', but was changed to ''Calomys'' since 1962. History ''Hesperomys'' was introduced by George Robert Waterhouse in 1839 for the American rodents with cusps arranged in two series. The name combines the Greek ἑσπερος "west" and μυς "mouse". He considered it possible that species of ''Hesperomys'' would be found in the Old World, but did not doubt that the Americas were their chief abode. He included as species ''Mus bimaculatus'' (='' Calomys laucha''), ''Mus griseo-flavus'' (=''Graomys griseoflavus''), ''Mus Darwinii'' (=''Phyllotis darwini''), ''Mus zanthopygus'' (=''Phyllotis xanthopygus''), ''Mus galapagoensis'' (='' Aegialomys galapagoensis''), ''Symidon hispidum'' (=''Sigmodon hispidus''), ''Mus leucopus'' (=''Pero ...

Calomys Cerqueirai
''Calomys cerqueirai'' is a species of rodent in the genus ''Calomys'' from southeastern Brazil. Distinct from other ''Calomys'' in its karyotype and characters of the fur, it is known only from two places in Minas Gerais. The karyotype was first described in 1996 and the species was formally named in 2010. Taxonomy In 1996, Geise and coworkers described a new karyotypic variant of ''Calomys'' from Lagoa Santa, Minas Gerais with 36 chromosomes and a fundamental number of 66 autosomal arms ( 2n = 36, FNa = 66), and a 2007 genetic analysis confirmed that the new variant represents an evolutionary lineage separate from other ''Calomys'' species. In 2010, Bonvicino and others described another karyotypic variant from Capitão Andrade, also in Minas Gerais, with 2n = 38 and FNa = 66, and concluded that both karyotypic variants represented a single, previously undescribed species, which they named ''Calomys cerqueirai''.

Calomys Fecundus
The fecund vesper mouse (''Calomys fecundus'') is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. It is known only from Bolivia, where it is found in the yungas and Tucumano boliviano forest ecoregions at elevations from 600 to 2700 m. It is regarded by some authorities as conspecific with '' C. boliviae'', and by some as conspecific with '' C. venustus'', despite having a karyotype A karyotype is the general appearance of the complete set of metaphase chromosomes in the cells of a species or in an individual organism, mainly including their sizes, numbers, and shapes. Karyotyping is the process by which a karyotype is disce ... with 2n = 54 while ''C. venustus'' generally has a karyotype with 2n = 56.

Calomys Expulsus
The caatinga vesper mouse (''Calomys expulsus'') (also known as the caatinga laucha or rejected vesper mouse) is a rodent species in the family Cricetidae from South America. It is endemic to eastern Brazil, where it is found in open savanna (cerrado) and thorny scrub (caatinga) habitats. Its karyotype has 2n = 66 and FN = 68. It was formerly synonymized with '' C. callosus'', but the latter has 2n = 50 and FN = 66. Karyologic analysis of ''C. expulsus'' has shown that the X chromosome is large and submetacentric while the Y chromosome is either acrocentric or submetacentric. Predators include the barn owl The barn owl (''Tyto alba'') is the most widely distributed species of owl in the world and one of the most widespread of all species of birds, being found almost everywhere except for the polar and desert regions, Asia north of the Himalaya ... .
