Palawanomys Musser and Newcomb, 1983 . Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 174:335.

TYPE SPECIES: Palawanomys furvus Musser and Newcomb, 1983 .

COMMENTS: Phylogenetic affinities unclear, but among murines native to the Sunda Shelf, Palawanomys appears most closely allied to the cluster of genera that would include Rattus; broader regional comparisons required before affinities can be determined (Musser and Newcomb, 1983).
