Bramus is a genus of fossorial rodents. It formerly contained only the extinct North African species Bramus barbarus.^[1] Both species in Bramus were moved to this genus from Ellobius. They differ from Ellobius in being larger, having a distinct sagital crest, and other features of the teeth and skull. They also occur allopatrically from Ellobius. They are sexually dimorphic, with females being larger than males.^[2] The genus comprises two species:

Southern mole vole, Bramus fuscocapillus (Blyth, 1843)
Transcaucasian mole vole, Bramus lutescens (Thomas, 1897)
