REVIEWED BY: M. Andera (MA).

COMMENT: For use of this name rather than Dolomys , see Corbet, 1978:104. Closely related to Hyperacrius , Alticola , and Eothenomys (JC) . Placed in tribe Pliomyini of subfamily Ondatrinae by CAR. Placed in tribe Clethrionomyini by Gromov and Polyakov, 1977:114. Koenigswald, 1980, Abh. Senckenb. Naturforsch. Ges., 539, believed that no close relationship with any other living arvicolid is probable on the basis of the internal structure of the molar enamel; there is a probable relationship with the fossil Propliomys hungaricus .
