 Comments
       
  Comment: Status: IUCN - Lower Risk (lc)  
    Comments: Rattus rattus species group. The authority is usually cited as 1845, but was published in 1844 (Holthuis and Sakai, 1970). The name tanezumi is the oldest for the 2n = 42 group of Asian houserats that is distinguished from the 2n = 38/40 R. rattus not only by chromosomal characters but also morphological and biochemical traits (see account of R. rattus). The probable indigenous range is generally north and east of peninsular India (judged by Musser's study of material in AMNH, BMNH, FMNH, M...  
    Rattus tanezumi Temminck (original combination Mus tanezumi) was published in Fauna Japonica, Mamm. 51; pages 41-60 of Fauna Japonica were published in 1845 and not in 1844 (see Sherborn and Jentink, 1895: 149)
