Eliomys Wagner, 1840 . Abh. math-phys. Cl. K. Bayer. Akad. Wiss., München, 3:176.

TYPE SPECIES: Eliomys melanurus Wagner, 1839 .

SYNONYMS: Bifa (see Corbet, 1978c), Eivissia (see Alcover and Agusti, 1985), Hypnomys, Maltamys, Tyrrhenoglis (see Maempel and de Bruijn, 1982).

COMMENTS: Tribe Leithiini . See Nader et al. (1983) and Wahlert et al. (In Press) for clarification of the publication date for Eliomys and Eliomys melanurus Wagner (1839 vs. 1840). Corbet (1978c) cautioned that humans have affected the present distribution of the species. Eliomys appears most closely related to Dryomys (Wahlert et al., In Press).
