Lenomys Thomas, 1898 . Trans. Zool. Soc. London, 14:409.

TYPE SPECIES: Mus meyeri Jentink, 1879 .

COMMENTS: A Sulawesi endemic reviewed by Musser (19704, 1981c, 1984). Simpson (1945) listed Lenomys as a member of the Phloeomyinae along with Coryphomys, Pogonomys, Mallomys, Phloeomys, Chiropodomys, and Crateromys, but no evidence supports this arrangement. External, cranial, and spermatozoal traits tied Lenomys phylogenetically close to Eropeplus, another Sulawesian endemic (Breed and Musser, 1991; Musser, 1981c).
