Ellerman (1949a;132) saw a ""close relationship"" between Chiropodomys and Vandeleuria. Spermatozoal morphology of Chiropodomys resembles that described for species of Hapalomys, Maxomys, and Haeromys, and is also similar to Mus (Breed and Musser, 1991; Breed and Yong, 1986). Musser (1979) and Musser and Newcomb (1983) recorded other published opinions about relationships of Chiropodomys. No data supports the inclusion of Chiropodomys within the Phloeomyinae along with Coryphomys, Lenomys, Pogonomys, Chiruromys, Mallo... [truncated]"
