Treatment

Phloeomys Waterhouse, 1839 View in CoL . Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1839:108.

TYPE SPECIES: Mus (Phloeomys) cumingi Waterhouse, 1839 .

COMMENTS: Part of the Philippine Old Endemics, but actual phylogenetic relationships relative to other members of that group and to genera in other areas of IndoAustralian region unclear ( Musser and Heaney, 1992). Listed as a member of Phloeomyinae by Simpson (1945), along with Chiropodomys , Coryphomys , Crateromys , Lenomys , Mallomys , and Pongonomys, but no data supports such an allocation.
