Species Nilopegamys plumbeus Osgood 1928

Discussion: Colomys Division. Described as a genus by Osgood (1928) and recognized as such by G. M. Allen (1939) and Ellerman (1941), but subsequently included in Colomys by Hayman (1966) and most checklists published after his report covering African rodents, including the revision of Colomys by Dieterlen (1983) in which plumbeus was maintained as a subspecies of C. goslingi , the allocation recommended by Hayman (1966). Kerbis Peterhans and Patterson (1995) reviewed the taxonomic history and resurrected Nilopegamys within a context of comparison with Colomys and other African muroids.
