Species Eropeplus canus Miller and Hollister 1921

Discussion: Pithecheir Division. Ellerman (1941) allied Eropeplus closely with Rattus , but its nearest phylogenetic relative is Sulawesian Lenomys , an affinity supported by external, cranial, and spermatozoal characters ( Breed and Musser, 1991; Musser, 1981 c; Tate, 1936). Spermatozoal morphology of Eropeplus and Lenomys is unique among Sulawesian taxa sampled ( Breed and Musser, 1991). See Lenomys account.
