Vernaya fulva

Anthony (1941) considered fulvus morphologically distinct from both Chiropodomys and Vandeleuria and placed it in its own genus (Vernaya), changing the species name spelling from fulvus to fulva to agree with the new generic name. Type locality "Yinpankai, Mekong River, western Yunnan, China, 9000 feet altitude." The genus was named for Mr. Arthur S. Vernay, patron of the American Museum of Natural History and principal sponsor of many museum expeditions including the Vernay-Cutting Burma expedition, which resulted in the capture of the holotype of V. fulva.
