Abstract
A combination of dental and mandibular characters demonstrates that Chaline's vole, known from the Pleistocene of Spain and Italy, originally named as Allophaiomys chalinei and later referred by some authors to Arvicola and Tibericola, is unrelated to either Allophaiomys or Arvicola and probably is not closely related to Tibericola. It is here considered as the only member of a new genus, Victoriamys, named for the cave from which V. chalinei nov. comb. was first described.
