| Summary: | Rattus annandalei Bonhote 1903 Rattus annandalei Bonhote 1903, in: Annandale, Fasciculi Malayenses, Zool., pt. I: 30. Type Locality: Malaysia (Malay Peninsula), S Perak, Sungkei. Vernacular Names: Annandale's Sundaic Rat. Synonyms: Rattus bullatus (Lyon 1908); Rattus villosus (Lyon 1908). Distribution: Malay Peninsula, Singapore, E Sumatra, and islands of Padang and Rupat off the coast of E Sumatra (see Musser and Newcomb, 1983:515, and references therein). Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc). Discussion: Rattus species group unresolved. A Sundaic endemic; superficially resembles Sundamys muelleri and some species of Rattus in primitive external, cranial, and dental features, but in other specialized traits R. annandalei is unlike any species of Sundamys and may eventually be removed from Rattus (Musser and Newcomb, 1983).
