GENUS Brachyuromys
| Author: | Major, 1896. | | Citation: | Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 6, 18: 322. | | Type Species: | Brachyuromys ramirohitra Major, 1896. | | Comments: | Ellerman (1941) allied Brachyuromys as a tribe within Tachyoryctinae, an affinity earlier considered plausible by Major (1897). Cladistic interpretation of cytochrome b sequences instead indicates close kinship with Nesomys (Jansa et al., 1999). Specific discrimination and distributions reviewed by Jansa and Carleton (2003b). |
