[Maxomys] panglima (Robinson 1921) View in CoL , Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 9, 7: 235.

Type Locality: Philippines, Palawan Isl.

Vernacular Names: Palawan Maxomys.

Synonyms: Maxomys palawanensis ( Taylor 1934) .

Distribution: Greater Palawan Faunal Region; endemic to Balabac, Palawan, Busuanga, Calauit, and Culion Isls; politically part of Philippines, but faunistically an extension of the Sunda Shelf. Recorded from primary and secondary tropical lowland evergreen rainforest from sea level to 1000 m ( Heaney et al., 1998).

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (nt).

Discussion: Treated in the past as a subspecies of M. surifer , but morphological features support its independence as a species; uncertain whether M. panglima is more closely related to M. surifer or M. rajah (Musser et al., 1979) . Joins Palawanomys furvus and Chiropodomys calamianus as the only recorded murines endemic to the Greater Palawan Faunal Region.
