Comment:
Comments: Rattus Division. Endemic to the Malay Peninsula and islands on the Sunda Shelf. Revised by Musser and Newcomb (1983), whose analysis of morphological traits placed it phylogenetically closer to Rattus and Kadarsanomys than to other Sundaic genera. The close relationship to Rattus is corroborated by albumin immunology (Watts and Baverstock, 1994b, 1995b, 1996), spermatozoal morphology (Breed and Yong, 1986), and analyses of LINE-1 retrotransposons (Verneau et al., 1997, 1998)
