The recently resurrected genus Daptomys Anthony, 1929 includes poorly known small cricetid rodents that are widely distributed in tropical South America. Along with Neusticomys 1921, these species the most terrestrial members of tribe, which is otherwise distinguished by adaptations allow to live both aquatic and environments. Newly collected Ecuadorean specimens provide complementary information craniodental soft anatomy Daptomys, focusing on rhinarium morphology, palate, stomach, caecum configuration, other features. In addition, phylogeny presented here, combined distribution models, suggests a simplified taxonomy indicating peruviensis (Musser & Gardner, 1974) has wide extending from Venezuela Peru. this novel scenario, mussoi (Ochoa Soriano, 1991) would be junior synonym D. peruviensis, application trinominal appears premature.
