GENUS Batomys

Author:Thomas, 1895.
Citation:Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 6, 16: 162.
Type Species:Batomys granti Thomas, 1895.
Comments:Phloeomys Division. A Philippine Old Endemic (Musser and Heaney, 1992). Using morphological data, Musser and Heaney (1992) placed Batomys in the same monophyletic group as Crateromys and Carpomys and among some alternative hypotheses about relationships suggested that Phloeomys may also be a member of this group. Phylogenetic analyses of complete mtDNA cytochrome b sequences for 13 of the 16 genera of Philippine murines bring together Batomys, Crateromys, and Phloeomys in a clade separate from those formed by other Old Endemic genera; species of Carpomys were not sampled (Jansa and Heaney, 2001). Revised by Musser et al. (1998a).
