Genus Eliomys is a type of rodent that belongs to the family Gliridae. It is commonly known as the Garden Dormouse or the Hodson's Dipodillus. The word "genus" refers to a taxonomic rank used in biological classification that groups similar species together. There are several synonyms for the Genus Eliomys, including Dipodillus hodsoni, Glis nitidus, Selevinia nitida, and Zacomys minutus. These synonyms are used interchangeably to refer to the same group of animals. While the taxonomy and naming of animals can be complex, it is important to use accurate and current names to avoid confusion and ensure effective communication about scientific discoveries and research.
