Dryomys Thomas 1905 View in CoL

Dryomys Thomas 1905 View in CoL , Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1905 (2): 348.

Type Species: Mus nitedula Pallas 1778

Synonyms: Afrodryomys Jaeger 1975 ; Dyromys Thomas 1907 ; Elius Schulze 1900 .

Species and subspecies: 3 species:

Species Dryomys laniger Felten and Storch 1968

Species Dryomys niethammeri Holden 1996

Species Dryomys nitedula (Pallas 1778)

Discussion: Evolutionary patterns of dental morphology during Pliocene and Pleistocene discussed by Nadachowski and Daoud (1995). Comparative vocalization data reviewed by Hutterer and Peters (2001). It is generally (but not universally) accepted that Eliomys is the closest living relative of Dryomys (see comments under Subfamily Leithiinae and references therein). However, phylogenetic analyses of nuclear DNA fragments and mitochondrial 12S rRNA sequences clearly identified Dryomys as sister to Eliomys ( Montgelard et al., 2003) .
