Praomys Thomas, 1915 View in CoL . Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 8, 15:4

TYPE SPECIES: Epimys tullbergi Thomas, 1894 .

COMMENTS: Myomys (or Myomyscus ), Mastomys , and Hylomyscus have been united with Praomys as subgenera (D. H. S. Davis, 1965; Misonne, 1974), but are treated as separate genera here and by other workers such as Rosevear (1969), who also reviewed the taxonomic history of some species in Praomys as well as its generic status relative to the other genera allied with it. Van der Straeten and Dieterlen (1987) and Van der Straeten and Dudu (1990) provided brief reviews of the historical and current allocations of forms to the P. tullbergi , P. jacksoni , and P. delectorum complexes. Chromosomal and biochemical traits reviewed or referenced by Qumsiyeh et al. (1990), who combined Myomys and Mastomys with Praomys . Additional chromosomal information recorded by Maddalena et al. (1989). Not only do the contents of Praomys require careful systematic revision, but its phylogenetic relationships relative to Mastomys , Myomys , and Hylomyscus also needs resolution through revisionary studies.
