GENUS Palawanomys
Author: | Musser and Newcomb, 1983. | Citation: | Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 174: 335. | Type Species: | Palawanomys furvus Musser and Newcomb, 1983. | Comments: | RattusDivision. Phylogenetic affinities unclear, but among murines native to the Sunda Shelf, Palawanomys appears morphologically most closely allied to the cluster of genera that includes Rattus; broader regional comparisons required before more precise affinities can be determined (Musser and Newcomb, 1983). |
