Rhagapodemus

Rhagapodemus is a genus of extinct rodent from the Miocene to Pleistocene periods. Most species are known from European localities, although R. debruijni comes from India.

Taxonomy

Rhagapodemus was closely related to the field mice of the genus Apodemus. One species, R. minor, is considered ancestral to another extinct genus, Rhagamys, which was endemic to Sardinia and Corsica up until the end of the Pleistocene.
