Limnomys is a genus of rodent in the family Muridae [1] endemic to Mindanao, Philippines. It contains the following species:
The Old World rats and mice, part of the subfamily Murinae in the family Muridae, comprise at least 519 species. Members of this subfamily are called murines. In terms of species richness, this subfamily is larger than all mammal families except the Cricetidae and Muridae, and is larger than all mammal orders except the bats and the remainder of the rodents.
Apomys, commonly known as earthworm mice, is a genus of rodent endemic to the Philippines. Mice belonging to this genus are generally called Philippine forest mice and can be found on most islands of the Philippines except in Palawan, the Sulu Archipelago, and the Batanes and Babuyan group of islands.
Batomys is a genus of rodent endemic to the Philippines. It has six extant described species.
Bullimus is a genus of rodent from the Philippines, as first catalogued by Mearns, in 1905.
The cloud rats or cloudrunners are a tribe (Phloeomyini) of arboreal and nocturnal herbivorous rodents endemic to the cloud forests of the Philippines. They belong to the family Muridae and include five genera: Batomys, Carpomys, Crateromys, Musseromys, and Phloeomys. They range in size from as large as 50 cm (20 in) to as small as 74 mm (2.9 in). Cloud rats are threatened by habitat loss and illegal hunting. Several species are endangered or critically endangered.
The shrewlike rats, genus Rhynchomys, also known as the tweezer-beaked rats are a group of unusual Old World rats found only on the island of Luzon in the Philippines. They look a great deal like shrews and are an example of convergent evolution. Shrewlike rats evolved to be vermivores (worm-eaters) and insectivores feeding on soft-bodied invertebrates associated with leaf litter.
The Mindanao hairy-tailed rat is one of five species of rodent in the genus Batomys. It is in the diverse family Muridae. This species is found only in the Philippines.
The Bagobo rat is one of three species of rodent in the genus Bullimus, and in the diverse family Muridae. It is found in the Visayas and Mindanao, Philippines.
Crunomys is a genus of rodent in the family Muridae native to the Philippines and Sulawesi. It contains the following species:
Leopoldamys is a genus of rodents in the family Muridae endemic to Southeast Asia. It contains the following species:
The Mindanao mountain rat or long-tailed moss mouse, is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found only in the Philippines, where it is present at high altitudes in the Kitanglad Mountain Range on the island of Mindanao.
Sundamys is a genus of rodent in the family Muridae, found mostly in Indonesia and Malaysia. It contains the following species:
The Salokko rat is a species of rodent in the family Muridae.
The long-footed rat is a species of rodent in the family Muridae.
The spiny long-footed rat, also known as the Mindanao spiny rat, is a species of rodent in the family Muridae.
Guy Graham Musser was an American zoologist. His main research was in the field of the rodent subfamily Murinae, in which he has described many new species.
The gray-bellied mountain rat, also known as the gray-bellied limnomys and the buffy-collared moss-mouse, is a species of rodent in the family Muridae.
The Vogelkop mountain rat, Rattus arfakiensis, is a species of rat native to Indonesia. It is found only in the Bird's Head Peninsula of Papua Province, Indonesia.
Rattini is a very large, diverse tribe of muroid rodents in the subfamily Murinae. They are found throughout Asia and Australasia, with a few species ranging into Europe and northern Africa. The most well-known members of this group are the true rats, several species of which have been introduced worldwide.
