Type Species: Pogonomelomys ruemmleri Tate and Archbold 1941
Species and subspecies: 2 species:

Species Coccymys ruemmleri ( Tate and Archbold 1941)
Discussion: Pogonomys Division. A New Guinea Old Endemic. Analysis of immunological distances by Watts and Baverstock (1994 a) for New Guinea murines indicated Coccymys (represented by C. ruemmleri ) showed no clear affinities with any other genus but appeared to be a distinctive member of their " Anisomys " clade (our Pogonomys Division). Sperm morphology of C. ruemmleri described by Breed and Aplin (1994) and its significance as a guide to relationships of Coccymys within endemic New Guinea murines outlined by Breed (1997). Our allocation to the Pogonomys Division is provisional pending phylogenetic analyses incorporating a wide array of morphological data sets combined with a range of different gene sequences.
