Neodon is a genus of rodent in the family Cricetidae.[1] Species within Neodon are classified as relics of the Pleistocene epoch because the occlusal patterns resemble the extinct Allophaiomys.
While the IUCN only recognizes 6 species of Neodon, the American Society of Mammalogists lists the following species, with Neodon leucurus being moved into the genus from Phaiomys and the additional 9 species being recently described:[2]
- Bershula mountain vole (Neodon bershulaensis)
- Bomi mountain vole (Neodon bomiensis)
- Chayu mountain vole (Neodon chayuensis)
- Clarke's vole (Neodon clarkei)
- Forrest's mountain vole (Neodon forresti)
- Plateau vole (Neodon fuscus)
