Species Palawanomys furvus Musser and Newcomb 1983

Discussion: Rattus Division. 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).
