GENUS Eropeplus
| Author: | Miller and Hollister, 1921. | | Citation: | Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., 34: 94. | | Type Species: | Eropeplus canus Miller and Hollister, 1921. | | Comments: | PithecheirDivision. Ellerman (1941) allied Eropeplus closely with Rattus, but its nearest phylogenetic relative is Sulawesian Lenomys, an affinity supported by external, cranial, and spermatozoal characters (Breed and Musser, 1991; Musser, 1981c; Tate, 1936). Spermatozoal morphology of Eropeplus and Lenomys is unique among Sulawesian taxa sampled (Breed and Musser, 1991). See Lenomys account. |
