Species Typhlomys cinereus Milne-Edwards 1877

Discussion: Miocene Neocometes is morphologically close to Typhlomys . Fossil Typhlomys are known from late Miocene in China (Lufeng and Yuanmou, Yunnan), isolated molars described as T. primitivus and T. hipparionum ( Ni and Qiu, 2002; Qiu, 1989). Two additional species, T. macrourus and T. intermedius , are also represented by molars from the late Pliocene in the Sichuan-Guizhou region, and Pleistocene samples of living T. cinereus come from the same area ( Zheng, 1993) and Guangxi in S China ( Chen et al., 2002). Zheng (1993) postulated two lineages: one leading from the late Miocene T. primitivus , through Pleistocene T. intermedius , to extant T. cinereus ; the other from late Miocene T. hipparionum to late Pliocene T. macrourus . Of the two late Miocene species, occlusal patterns of T. primitivus are most like those of Neocometes .
