Considered the only genus in Rhynchomyinae by Thomas (1896), who later included Echiothrix (Thomas, 1898b). Phylogenetic analyses of complete mtDNA cytochrome b sequences for 13 of the 16 genera of endemic Philippine murines place Rhynchomys in a clade containing Apomys, Chrotomys (including Celaenomys), and Archboldomys (Jansa and Heaney, 2001), which is supported by chromosomal data (Rickart and Heaney, 2...
