Comment:
Comments: Pogonomys Division. Member of the New Guinea Old Endemics (Musser, 1981c), and most closely related to Chiruromys, Pogonomys, Coccymys, Hyomys, Anisomys, and Mallomys as indicated by analysis of immunological distances (Watts and Baverstock, 1994a). Distributional and biological information summarized by Flannery (1990b; 1995a)
