| Summary: | 685. Malaysian Field Rat Rattus tiomanicus French: Rat de Tioman / German: Malaiische Feldratte / Spanish: Rata de campo de Malasia Other common names: Malayan Field Rat, Tioman Rat Taxonomy. Mus tiomanicus G. S. Miller, 1900, “Tioman Island [Pahang, Malaysia].” Rattus tiomanicus 1s sister to R.sakeratensis and Lineage IV of R. tanezumi within the rattus clade in the R. rattus species group (representing Lineage VI, see R. rattus and R. tanezumi). A specimen of R. baluensis included in a recent genetic study clustered in R. tiomanicus, which could indicate that R. baluensis is better included in R.tiomanicus. R. simalurensis might also be included in R.tiomanicus as an island variant, although further revision is needed. Rattus tiomanicus has substantial geographical variation, and it might represent multiple species or at least subspecies. Subspecific taxonomy requires further investigation. Distribution. Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Palawan (and adjacent Bancalan, Arena, Busuanga, and Calauit Is), Borneo, ... : Published as part of Don E. Wilson, Russell A. Mittermeier & Thomas E.
