Discussion: Rattus xanthurus species group. See Musser (1971 c-e, 1984) for justification behind allocation of synonyms. One of the larger-bodied members of this complex, which includes R. bontanus, R. marmosurus, R. salocco, and R. pelurus. Occurs sympatrically with R. marmosurus on the NE Peninsula. Sody (1941) included xanthurus in Taeromys. Although the R. xanthurus group may eventually be removed from Rattus (Musser and Holden, 1991), it does not belong in Taeromys (Musser, ms).
