Rattus hoffmanni Matschie 1901 View in CoL , Abh. Senckenb. Naturf. Ges., 25: 284.

Type Locality: Indonesia, NE Sulawesi, Minahassa region.

Vernacular Names: Hoffmann's Sulawesi Rat.

Synonyms: Rattus biformatus Sody 1941 ; Rattus celebensis (Hoffmann 1887) ; Rattus linduensis Miller and Hollister 1921 ; Rattus mengkoka Tate and Archbold 1935 ; Rattus mollicomus Miller and Hollister 1921 ; Rattus tatei Ellerman 1941 .

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: Rattus rattus species group. Morphological, chromosomal, distributional, and ecological boundaries of species elaborated by Musser and Holden (1991), who also documented taxonomic history. Stomach morphology described and contrasted with other Sulawesian endemics by Musser and Durden (2002). Closest relative of R. hoffmanni is R. mollicomulus from Gunung Lampobatang , Sulawesi. Rattus koopmani , endemic to Pulau Peleng, is also likely closely related to R. hoffmanni . Phylogenetic affinities of this cluster to other species of Rattus are unresolved.
