Species Macrotarsomys bastardi Milne-Edwards and G. Grandidier 1898

Species Macrotarsomys ingens F. Petter 1959

Discussion: Retained within Cricetinae by Ellerman (1941) but more closely related to other nesomyines, in particular Monticolomys ( Carleton and Goodman, 1996; Jansa et al., 1999). Lavocat (1978), Chaline et al. (1977), and F. Petter (1990) aligned Macrotarsomys with the Kenyan Miocene fossil Protarsomys , a relationship questioned by Carleton and Schmidt (1990) and Carleton and Goodman (1996). Specific discrimination, distributions, and biology reviewed by Carleton and Goodman (2003 c).
