Thalpomys Thomas, endemic to the cerrado of central Brazil, is a strikingly distinct genus of the akodont assemblage (Sigmodontinae, Cricetidae, Rodentia). The genus and the two included species, one new, are described and compared. The validity of the names of the genus and type species T. lasiotis Thomas, 1916, is elucidated. The little known about habitat, relative population numbers, and karyotype is included.
