Phylogenetic affinities uncertain; placement in Rattus originally provisional (Kitchener et al., 1991), results from albumin immunology suggest transfer to either Bunomys or Komodomys (Watts and Baverstock, 1994b), but electrophoretic data indicate R. hainaldi to be equidistant from the Komodomys-Rattus t...
