Hylomys is a small genus of the family Erinaceidae. [2] Hylomys species, like all species in the subfamily Galericinae, are known as gymnures or moonrats. Their closest relatives include the fossil Lantanotherium and Thaiagymnura and the living Neotetracus and Neohylomys. Members of this genus are found in Southeast Asia and Eastern Asia.
Species
Traditionally, only three extant species were recognized, though others had been described. More recently, five additional species are recognized. [3]
- Hylomys dorsalis O. Thomas, 1888 (Bornean short-tailed gymnure)
- Hylomys macarong Hinckley, Lunde, & Hawkins, 2023 (Dalat gymnure)
- Hylomys maxi Sody, 1933 (Max's short-tailed gymnure)
- Hylomys parvus Robinson & Kloss, 1916 (Dwarf gymnure)
- Hylomys peguensis Blyth, 1859 (Northern short-tailed gymnure)
- Hylomys suillus S. Müller, 1840 (Javan short-tailed gymnure)
- Hylomys vorax Hinckley, Lunde, & Hawkins, 2023 (Leuser gymnure)
- † Hylomys engesseri Mein & Ginsburg, 1997 (fossil)
