Diomys Thomas, 1917 . J. Bombay Nat. Hist. Soc., 25:203.

TYPE SPECIES: Diomys crumpi Thomas, 1917 .

COMMENTS: Misonne (1969) suggested that Diomys is related to Chiromyscus, Dacnomys, and Niviventer (Misonne used Maxomys for this group), but Musser and Newcomb (1983) hypothesized that Millardia, Cremnomys, and other Indian genera may be more closely allied to Diomys; both views require testing.
