Crateromys Thomas, 1895 View in CoL . Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 6, 16: 163.

TYPE SPECIES: Phloeomys schadenbergi Meyer, 1895 .

COMMENTS: Reviewed by Musser and Gordon (1981) and Musser et al. (1985). A Philippine Old Endemic in the same monophyletic group as Batomys and Carpomys ( Musser and Heaney, 1992) . Except for a suggested but distant phylogenetic link to Phloeomys that has to be further tested ( Musser and Heaney, 1992), no data supports inclusion of Crateromys in the Phloeomyinae along with Coryphomys , Lenomys , Pogonomys , Chiropodomys , and Mallomys, as Simpson (1945) indicated. An undescribed species related to C. schadenbergi was recorded from Panay Isl ( Musser and Heaney, 1992); real distribution in the archipelago and actual number of species in the genus have yet to be determined.
