Capromyinae

Hutias (known in Spanish as jutía) are moderately large cavy-like rodents of the subfamily Capromyinae (from Ancient Greekκάπρος (kápros), meaning "pig, boar", and μῦς (mûs), meaning "mouse, rat") that inhabit the Caribbean islands. Most species are restricted to Cuba, but species are known from all of the Greater Antilles, as well as the Bahamas and (formerly) Little Swan Island off Honduras.
