Eropeplus Miller and Hollister, 1921 . Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, 34:94.

TYPE SPECIES: Eropeplus canus Miller and Hollister, 1921 .

COMMENTS: Ellerman (1941) allied Eropeplus closely with Rattus, but its nearest phylogenetic relative is Sulawesian Lenomys, an affinity supported by external, cranial, and spermatozoal characters (Breed and Musser, 1991; Musser, 1981c; Tate, 1936). Spermatozoal morphology of Eropeplus and Lenomys was unique among Sulawesian taxa sampled (Breed and Musser, 1991).
