Hylomys is a small genus of the family Erinaceidae.[2] Hylomys species, like all species in the subfamily Galericinae, are known as gymnures or moonrats. Their closest relatives include the fossil Lantanotherium and Thaiagymnura and the living Neotetracus and Neohylomys. Members of this genus are found in Southeast Asia and Eastern Asia.

Species

Traditionally, only three extant species were recognized, though others had been described. More recently, five additional species are recognized.[3]
