GENUS Srilankamys

Author:Musser, 1981.
Citation:Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 168: 268.
Type Species:Rattus ohiensis Phillips, 1929.
Comments:DacnomysDivision. A montane insular relict with possible phylogenetic ties to Chiromyscus and Niviventer, but not to Rattus (Musser, 1981b). The genus also exhibits some morphological traits characteristic of Maxomys; its inclusion in the Dacnomys Division has to be tested by broader character analyses that includes chromosomal and molecular data.
