Species Hypogeomys antimena A. Grandidier 1869

Discussion: Retained by Ellerman (1941) within Cricetinae as a genus of obscure relationships. Sister genus to the Macrotasomys Monticolomys clade according to phylogenetic assessment of mitochondrial DNA sequences ( Jansa et al., 1999). The fossil Hypogeomys boulei G. Grandidier (1912) proved to be an example of Plesiorycteropus , member of the extinct order Bibymalagasia (see MacPhee, 1994). Ecology, behavior, and conservation status reviewed by Sommer (2003).
