Comment:
Comments: Ellerman (1941) created the subfamily Gymnuromyinae in recognition of the distinctive features of this species, which he believed to be derived from a Nesomys-like ancestor. Molecular data fail to support this independent status and instead generally relate the genus to other nesomyines (Jansa et al., 1999). Contrasts with Eliurus and distribution reviewed by Carleton and Goodman (2003b)
