Rattus leucopus steini Rimmler, 1935, Mount Kunupi, Weyland Range, Province of Papua, West Papua (= Irian Jaya), New Guinea. Rattus steini is part of a cladeincluding the Recent New Guinea species of Rattus, and it has been recovered as the sister species to R. novaeguineae, with R. praetor sister to this clade. Rattus steini was found to be highly paraphyletic with R. praetor in re-cent genetic studies, which might indicate that there are multiple species within what is currently recognized as R. steini. More research is needed to fully understand placement of R. stein: in Rattus and to determine number of taxa it represents. Four subspecies recognized. Subspecies and Distribution.
