Vernaya Anthony 1941

Description

Vernaya Anthony, 1941. Field Mus. Nat. Hist. Pubi. Zool. Ser., 27: 110.

TYPE SPECIES: Chiropodomys fulvus G. M. Allen, 1927.

SYNONYMS: Octopodomys.

COMMENTS: Dental morphology interpreted by Misonne (1969) to indicate close relationship with Chiropodomys; hypothesis requires testing with other characters. About the same time Anthony proposed Vernaya, Sody (1941) proposed Octopodomys.
