Comments: Micromys Division. An Indomalayan endemic allied to Chiropodomys, Vernaya, and Micromys, a hypothesis based on dental morphology (Misonne, 1969). Ellerman (1949:132) also tied Vandeleuria to Chiropodomys and Micromys through their complex molar occlusal patterns. Using albumin immunology, Watts and Baverstock (1995b) pointed to Micromys as the closest phylogenetic extant relative of Vandeleuria. Phylogenetic analysis of molar traits by Chaimanee (1998) indicated Vandeleuria formed a clade w...
