Rattus foramineus Sody, 1941 View in CoL . Treubia, 18:308.
TYPE LOCALITY: Indonesia, SW Sulawesi, Bulukumba .
DISTRIBUTION: Known only from a few localities on coastal lowlands near the end of the SW peninsula of Sulawesi.
COMMENTS: Sody described pelurus from Pulau Peleng as a subspecies of R. foramineus , but the Peleng Isl rat is a distinct species ( Musser and Holden, 1991). Rattus foramineus is represented only by four modern specimens ( Sody, 1941) and subfossil fragments ( Musser, 1984; Musser and Holden, 1991). Laurie and Hill (1954) listed R. foramineus as incertae sedis, but Musser (1984) treated it as a subspecies of R. xanthurus , and Musser and Holden (1991) considered it to be a species most closely related to R. bontanus , which replaces it on slopes of Gunung Lampobatang, Sulawesi.
