Comment:
Comments: Retained by Ellerman (1941) within Cricetinae as a genus of obscure relationships. Sister genus to the Macrotasomys-Monticolomys clade according to phylogenetic assessment of mitochondrial DNA sequences (Jansa et al., 1999). The fossil Hypogeomys boulei G. Grandidier (1912) proved to be an example of Plesiorycteropus, member of the extinct order Bibymalagasia (see MacPhee, 1994). Ecology, behavior, and conservation status reviewed by Sommer (2003)
