Rhagapodemus is a genus of extinct rodent from the Miocene to Pleistocene periods. [1] Most species are known from European localities, although R. debruijni comes from India. [2]
Rhagapodemus was closely related to the field mice of the genus Apodemus. One species, R. minor, is considered ancestral to another extinct genus, Rhagamys, [3] which was endemic to Sardinia and Corsica up until the end of the Pleistocene. [4]
