Eothenomys is a genus of rodent in the family Cricetidae.[1] It contains the following species:

The taxonomy of this genus is unresolved. E. chinensis, E. custos, E. olitor, E. proditor, and E. wardi are sometimes placed in the subgenus Anteliomys. The American Society of Mammalogists and other authors, in turn, recognizes Anteliomys as a distinct genus. Some authorities also recognizes Anteliomys hintoni and Anteliomys tarquinius, which are split from E. custos and E. chinensis, respectively.[2]

Some authors also recognize E. colurnus in eastern China and Taiwan and E. eleusis in southern China and the bordering regions of Myanmar, Vietnam, Thailand, and India. The American Society of Mammalogists includes E. cachinus and E. miletus as subspecies of E. eleusis.[2]
