Formerly included in Rattus by Ellerman (1949a), and in subgenus Bullimus of genus Rattus by Misonne (1969), but considered a distinct genus by Musser (1984, 1987) and Musser and Newcomb (1983).

Marked interspecific contrasts in spermatozoal morphology evident among species and reflected differences in cranial and dental traits ( Breed and Musser, 1991).
