Description
Brachyuromys Major 1896
Brachyuromys Major 1896, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 6, 18: 322.
Type Species: Brachyuromys ramirohitra Major 1896
Species and subspecies: 2 species:
Species Brachyuromys betsileoensis (Bartlett 1879)
Species Brachyuromys ramirohitra Major 1896
Discussion: Ellerman (1941) allied Brachyuromys as a tribe within Tachyoryctinae, an affinity earlier considered plausible by Major (1897). Cladistic interpretation of cytochrome b sequences instead indicates close kinship with Nesomys (Jansa et al., 1999). Specific discrimination and distributions reviewed by Jansa and Carleton (2003 b).
