Leimacomys Matschie, 1893 View in CoL . Sitzb. Ges. Naturf. Fr. Berlin, p. 107.

TYPE SPECIES: Leimacomys buettneri Matschie, 1893 View in CoL .

SYNONYMS: Limacomys .

COMMENTS: Apparently more closely related to Steatomys than to other dendromurines ( Dieterlen, 1976a). Rosevear (1969) provided a particularly good summary of past taxonomic allocations of Leimacomys and the nature of the type specimens.
