Description
Rattus baluensis (Thomas, 1894). Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 6, 14:454.
TYPE LOCALITY: Malaysia, Sabah (N Borneo), Gunung Kinabalu, 8000 ft.
DISTRIBUTION: Known only from 7000- 12,500 ft on slopes of Gunung Kinabalu, N Borneo (Musser, 1986).
COMMENTS: Taxonomic history of past, and incorrect, association of baluensis with Rattus rattus was documented by Musser (1986), who also noted that its closest relative is probably R. tiomanicus, which occurs in lowlands of Borneo and on many islands of the Sunda Shelf.
