Carnegie Mus ., 9: 7 . Type Species: Stenocephalemys albocaudata Frick 1914 Species and subspecies: 4 species: Species Stenocephalemys albipes (Rüppell 1842) Species Stenocephalemys albocaudata Frick 1914 Species Stenocephalemys griseicauda F. Petter 1972 Species Stenocephalemys ruppi Van der Straeten and Dieterlen 1983 Discussion: Stenocephalemys Division. An Ethiopian endemic that is phylogenetically related to species of Praomys , Mastomys , Myomyscus , Heimyscus , and Hylomyscus ( Lecompte et al., 2002 b ) . Significance of analyses of craniodental and phallic structure, allozymes, chromosomal data, partial mitochondrial 16S rRNA and complete mtDNA cytochrome b gene sequences, and geometric morphometrics from samples of S. albipes , S. albocaudata , and S. griseicauda ( Corti et al., 1999 ; Fadda and Corti, 2000 ; Fadda et al., 2001 a ; Lavrenchenko et al., 1999 , 2000; Lecompte et al., 2002 b ) are discussed in accounts that follow. Statistical summaries of external measurements from large series of S. albocaudata and S. griseicauda reported by Sillero-Zubiri (1995 a ) , and the habitat preferences of these two species, abundance, and biomass in relation to predation by the endangered Ethiopian wolf ( Canis simensis ) are documented by Sillero-Zubiri (1995 c ) . Spermatozoal morphology described by Baskevich and Lavrenchenko (1995) and Breed (1995 a ) . Isolated molars from late Miocene Ethiopian sediments (Chorora) were identified by Geraads (2001) as possibly being Stenocephalemys , and the genus is also represented by Pleistocene remains recovered in Ethiopia ( Jaeger, 1979 ); see review by Denys (1999).
