Description
Mystromys Wagner, 1841. Gelehrte Anz. I. K. Bayer. Akad. Wiss., München, 12(54), col. 434.
TYPE SPECIES: Mystromys albipes Wagner, 1841 (= Otomys albicaudatus A. Smith, 1834).
COMMENTS: Gross morphology of male accessory glands described by Voss and Linzey (1981) in context of survey assessing systematic implications of these structures among muroid rodents. Gross and histological stomach anatomy, as well as developmental and physiological aspects of gastric structure and processes, reported by Perrin and Curtis (1980), Maddock and Perrin (1981, 1983), and Perrin and Maddock (1983), and presented in comparative context to discern evolutionary relationships among Southern African muroid rodents, and in context of function and diet.
