Psammomys is a genus of rodents in the family Muridae.[1]
The etymology of the genus name derives from the two Ancient Greek words Template:Wikt-lang (Template:Grc-transl), meaning "sand", and Template:Wikt-lang (Template:Grc-transl), meaning "mouse, rat".[2][3]
The complete nuclear DNA genome of one Psamomys species, P. obesus, has been sequenced in 2017.[4]
It contains the following species:
- Fat sand rat, Psammomys obesus
- Thin sand rat, Psammomys vexillaris
