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
).
