Oenomys Thomas 1904 View in CoL , Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 7, 13: 416.

Type Species: Mus hypoxanthus Pucheran 1855

Synonyms: Aenomys Kershaw 1923 .

Species and subspecies: 2 species:

Species Oenomys hypoxanthus (Pucheran 1855)

Species Oenomys ornatus Thomas 1911

Discussion: Oenomys Division. A phylogenetic analysis of 17 cranial and 23 dental traits related Oenomys most closely to African Thamnomys ( Lopez-Martinez et al., 1998) , a link previously suggested by Hatt (1940 a), and Lamottemys . A morphometric study using a Fourier analysis applied to outlines of first upper and lower molars underscored the existence of the two species discussed below and the presence of possibly two other undescribed species ( Renaud, 1999). DNA/DNA hybridization experiments placed Oenomys in a clade with Arvicanthis , Dasymys , Aethomys , and Hybomys (Chevret, 1994) . Isolated molars of Oenomys have been uncovered from Pliocene and Pleistocene sediments in East Africa (Jaeger, 1976; Sabatier, 1982; Wesselman, 1984; see review by Denys, 1999).
