Progonomys is an extinct genus of murid rodent that lived in Africa and Eurasia during the Miocene epoch.
Progonomys clauzoni possesses a first mandibular molar with no anterocentral cusp, alternating positions of labial and longitudinal cusp rows, and a symmetric anteroconid.
Because cf. Progonomys from Tortonian deposits in the Siwalik Hills lacked modified radial enamel in its incisors, it is believed to have eaten a diet composed of leaves, flowers, seeds, fleshy roots, and insects.
