Vernaya Anthony 1941 View in CoL
Vernaya Anthony 1941 View in CoL , Field Mus . Nat. Hist. Publ., Zool. Ser., 27: 110.
Type Species: Chiropodomys fulvus G. M. Allen 1927
Synonyms: Octopodomys Sody 1941 .
Species and subspecies: 1 species:
Species Vernaya fulva (G. M. Allen 1927)
Discussion: Micromys Division. Dental morphology interpreted by Misonne (1969) to indicate close relationship with Chiropodomys ; hypothesis requires testing with other characters. About the same time Anthony described Vernaya, Sody (1941) proposed Octopodomys . There is a single extant species, the remains of which have been found in late Pleistocene cave sediments in the Sichuan-Guizhou region of S China, and four extinct species have been described based on early to late Pleistocene fossils from the same region ( Zheng, 1993).
