Myocastor coypus primum ab Ioanne Ignatio Molina anno 1782 nomine Mure coypus descriptus est, species generis Muris. Species vicissim generi Myocastori anno 1792 a Roberto Kerr tributa est.Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, separatim a Kerr, speciem Myopotamum coypus nominavit, quae aliquando sic appellatur.
Sequentiae DNA et proteinorum genus Myocastorem esse gregem sororium generis Callistomys monstrant. Quae bina taxa vicissim coniunctiones evolutionarias cum aliis Myocastorinorum generibus partiunt, quae hic Proechimys et Hoplomys, ibi Thrichomys sunt.
