Pelomys Peters, 1852 View in CoL . Bericht Verhandl. K. Preuss. Akad. Wiss. Berlin, 17:275.

TYPE SPECIES: Mus (Pelomys) View in CoL fallax Peters, 1852.

SYNONYMS: Komemys .

COMMENTS: Definition and phylogenetic position of Pelomys needs to be reassessed in context of a systematic revision of arvicanthine murines. In overall morphology, the genus is most closely related to Mylomys and Desmomys . Komemys is usually treated as a subgenus for the species hopkinsi and isseli (e.g., Delany, 1975), but we recognize it here as a synonym of Pelomys .
