Status: IUCN - Lower Risk (lc) as Melomys rubex
Comment:
Comments: The many names applied to P. rubex reflect morphological variation among samples that is concordant with interrupted highland distributions (Menzies, 1996, and our study of specimens in various museums). Menzies (1996) revised the species and earlier (Menzies, 1974) commented on the status of some names associated with P. rubex
