Paris. Mémoires C, III, p. 81 -116. COMMENTS: See Carleton and Musser (1984) for diagnosis and general characterisitics, as well as other discussion. They also summarized past estimates of relationships, which were generally reflected in arrangement of Lophiomys in its own family or in a subfamily of either Cricetidae or Nesomyidae . Wahlert (1984) allocated Lophiomys and Cricetops to Lophiomyinae and considered this cluster closely related to Cricetinae .
