Lenomys Thomas, 1898 View in CoL . Trans. Zool. Soc. London, 14:409.

TYPE SPECIES: Mus meyeri Jentink, 1879 .

COMMENTS: A Sulawesi endemic reviewed by Musser (19704, 1981c, 1984). Simpson (1945) listed Lenomys as a member of the Phloeomyinae along with Coryphomys , Pogonomys , Mallomys , Phloeomys, Chiropodomys, and Crateromys, but no evidence supports this arrangement. External, cranial, and spermatozoal traits tied Lenomys phylogenetically close to Eropeplus, another Sulawesian endemic ( Breed and Musser, 1991; Musser, 1981c).
