COMMENTS: Sody (1941) questionably included this species in Taeromys, Laurie and Hill (1954) , and Musser (1984) treated it as a subspecies of R. xanthurus , but Musser and Holden (1991) contended that it is a distinct species most closely related to R. foramineus , which occurs in coastal lowlands of the southern end of the SW peninsula of Sulawesi .
