Discussion: Included within Apomys abrae hylocetes Group by Musser (1982 b). Standard karyotype (2 n = 42, FN = 52; Rickart and Musser, 1993) very similar to that of A. datae (Rickart and Heaney, 2002). Three species may be represented in what is now called musculus: typical musculus from N Luzon, a separate species in S Luzon, and another on Mindoro (Heaney, pers. comm.). Altitudinal distribution and ecological data summarized by Balete and Heaney (1997) and Heaney et al. (1999). Judged by phylogenetic analyses of mtDNA cytochrome b sequences, A. musculus is most closely related to two undescribed species and A. microdon (see that account).
Order Rodentia - Family Muridae
