COMMENTS: Reviewed by Musser (1981c), who also recorded past opinions about phylogenetic affinities of Spelaeomys , noted that it is not closely related to Hooijeromys , Komodomys , Papagomys , or Paulamys — the other Nusa Tenggara endemics—and hypothesized that " Spelaeomys belongs with the old native genera of New Guinea, possibly Australia, and likely Timor." Additional data is required to test this notion.
