GENUS Leimacomys
| Author: | Matschie, 1893. | | Citation: | Sitzb. Ges. Naturf. Fr. Berlin: 107. | | Type Species: | Leimacomys büttneri Matschie, 1893. | | Comments: | Rosevear (1969) provided a particularly good summary of past taxonomic allocations of Leimacomys and the nature of the types, which consist of an imperfect skin and a specimen preserved in fluid; only one cranium and mandible have been located, but the different wear on upper and lower molars indicates the two elements to be mismatched. |
