Abstract
The article concerned to phylogenic relationships among Niviventer species inhabited Indochina. 15 separated species-level clades were revealed in the genus. The data obtained performed us to argue new conception on intrageneric structure and established new, more complex taxo- nomical structure of the genus. Four to five additional division may well been established in genus along with one (andersoni division) currently accepted: niviventer, fulvescens, brahma, culturatus and may be langbianis. These divisions combine together 13 from 15 currently genetically characterized Niviventer species, the other not least than 2 Sundaic and Malayan species hardly if any can be faultlessly attributed to any of these taxa. Additional investigations based on more complex data have to be performed to make clear their position in the genus.
