Phyllomys
''Phyllomys'' is a genus of arboreal Echimyidae, spiny rat, geographically restricted to the forests of eastern Brazil. The etymology of the genus name derives from the two ancient greek words (), meaning "plant leaf", and (), meaning "mouse, rat". Phylogeny ''Phyllomys'' is the sister genus to ''Echimys'', and then to ''Makalata''. These taxa are closely related to the genera ''Pattonomys'' and ''Toromys''. In turn, these five genera share phylogenetic affinities with a clade containing the bamboo rats ''Dactylomys'', ''Olallamys'', ''Kannabateomys'' together with ''Diplomys'' and ''Santamartamys''. Systematics There are thirteen named species in the genus. These species have frequently been placed in the genus ''Echimys''. *''Phyllomys blainvilii'' – golden Atlantic tree-rat *''Phyllomys brasiliensis'' – orange-brown Atlantic tree-rat *''Phyllomys dasythrix'' – drab Atlantic tree-rat *''Phyllomys kerri'' – Kerr's Atlantic tree-rat *''Phyllomys lamarum'' – p ...

In recent years, this species have unveiled itself in different parts of Brazil where researchers and scientists are still closely looking into due to lack of knowledge on this species. The ''Phyllomys medius'' is closely related to two other species that have recently been connected to the long furred Atlantic tree rat due to similarities in physical characteristics and DNA.

It is best with a secondary forest; a forest that has regrown after an event cleared some of the growth for new growth to start. Conservation status ''Phyllomys'' lundi is considered endangered by the IUCN's red list. This is because Atlantic Tree Rats are only found in two places in an extremely fragmented forest habitat and its decreasing habitat, due to logging. Not only is ...

Phyllomys Nigrispinus
The black-spined Atlantic tree-rat, (''Phyllomys nigrispinus''), is a South American spiny rat species in the family Echimyidae. It is found in southeastern Brazil, where it inhabits moist broadleaf forest and semideciduous forest in the Atlantic Forest region. It is arboreal and is believed to build nests of leaves in trees.

Echimyini
Echimyini is a tribe of echimyid rodents, proposed in 2016, and containing 13 extant genera: all of the tree rats '' Echimys'', ''Phyllomys'', '' Makalata'', '' Pattonomys'', '' Toromys'', '' Diplomys'', '' Santamartamys'', and '' Isothrix'', the long recognized dactylomines '' Dactylomys'', '' Olallamys'', and '' Kannabateomys'', and the enigmatic and previously classified as eumysopines '' Lonchothrix'' and '' Mesomys''. All these spiny rats genera are arboreal. Worth of note, the arboreal genus '' Callistomys'' – the painted-tree rat – does not belong to the tribe Echimyini. Because it is phylogenetically closer to '' Myocastor'', '' Hoplomys'', ''Proechimys'', and '' Thrichomys'' than to the above-mentioned Echimyini genera, it is classified in the tribe Myocastorini. Phylogeny Five assemblages can be distinguished in the genus-level cladogram of Echimyini: * ''Echimys'' is closely related to ''Phyllomys'', ''Makalata'', ''Pattonomys'' and ''Toromys''.
