Discussion: Millardia Division. Misonne (1969) suggested that Diomys is related to Chiromyscus, Dacnomys, and Niviventer (Misonne used the name Maxomys for this group), but Musser and Newcomb (1983) hypothesized that Millardia, Cremnomys, and other Indian genera may be more closely allied to Diomys, a view held by Ellerman (1947 a) who wrote that it is "a pro-odont offshoot of Millardia which resembles it in having very long palatal foramina and a long palate, also in the shortened fifth hind-toe.".
