Species Coryphomys buehleri Schaub 1937

Discussion: Pogonomys Division. Simpson (1945) listed Coryphomys , along with Lenomys , Pogonomys , Chiropodomys , Mallomys , Phloeomys , and Crateromys in the Phloeomyinae, but no data supports association with any of those genera except possibly Pogonomys and Mallomys . Based upon our study, we suggest that Coryphomys is part of an early radiation of New Guinea endemics that include the extant species in our Pogonomys Division, which is comparable to the Anisomyini as outlined by Watts and Baverstock (1994 b).
