Washington , 34:94 . TYPE SPECIES: Eropeplus canus Miller and Hollister, 1921 . COMMENTS: Ellerman (1941) allied Eropeplus closely with Rattus , but its nearest phylogenetic relative is Sulawesian Lenomys , an affinity supported by external, cranial, and spermatozoal characters ( Breed and Musser, 1991 ; Musser, 1981c ; Tate, 1936). Spermatozoal morphology of Eropeplus and Lenomys was unique among Sulawesian taxa sampled ( Breed and Musser, 1991 ).
