GENUS Archboldomys

Author:Musser, 1982.
Citation:Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 174: 30.
Type Species:Archboldomys luzonensis Musser, 1982.
Comments:ChrotomysDivision. Member of the Philippine Old Endemics (Musser and Heaney, 1992). Based strictly upon morphological data, Musser and Heaney (1992) supposed Archboldomys to be most closely related to Crunomys, but phylogenetic analyses of complete mtDNA cytochrome b sequences for 13 of the 16 genera of Philippine murines indicate Archboldomys is a member of a clade that includes Apomys, Chrotomys (including Celaenomys), and Rhynchomys but not Crunomys (Jansa and Heaney, 2001), and chromosomal data does not support a close alliance between Archboldomys and Crunomys (Rickart and Musser, 1993; Rickart and Heaney, 2002). Reviewed by Rickart et al. (1998).
