discussion
Discussion: Mallomys rothschildi and M. aroaensis are thought to be sympatric at a few localities (Flannery, 1995 a; Flannery et al., 1989), but the morphological variation present among samples requires re-examination to test whether it reflects presence of one or two species.
Order Rodentia - Family Muridae
