Title: Revision of the genera Parapodemus, Apodemus, Rhagamys and Rhagapodemus (Rodentia, Mammalia)
Abstract: This paper presents a revision of the taxonomy of the genera ApodemusKaup, 1826, ParapodemusSchaub, 1938, RhagamysForsyth Major, 1905 and RhagapodemusKretzoi, 1956. A new classification is proposed, that makes Mus gaudryiDames, 1883 from the Late Miocene the only species of the monospecific genus Parapodemus. Other species formerly included in this genus are transferred to the genus Apodemus. Rhagapodemus primaevus (Hugueney & Mein, 1965) from the locality of Lissieu is redefined. Ce travail contient une révision de la taxonomie des genres ApodemusKaup, 1826, ParapodemusSchaub,1938, RhagamysForsyth Major, 1905 et RhagapodemusKretzoi, 1956. Une nouvelle classification est proposée, qui fait Mus gaudryiDames, 1883 du Miocène final la seule espèce du genre monospécifique Parapodemus. D'autres espèces, jusqu'à maintenant incluses dans ce genre sont transférées au genre Apodemus. Rhagapodemus primaevus (Hugueney & Mein, 1965) du gisement de Lissieu est redéfini.
