discussion
Discussion: Morphological features indicate B. granti to be more closely related to B. salomonseni than to other species of Batomys (Musser et al., 1998 a). Karyotype (2 n = FN = 52) indistinguishable between samples from S and N regions of Luzon, and from B. salomonseni (Rickart and Heaney, 2002; Rickart and Musser, 1993). Altitudinal range and ecological information provided by Heaney et al. (1999).
Order Rodentia - Family Muridae
distribution
Distribution: Greater Luzon Faunal Region. Recorded only from mountain forests of Luzon Isl, Mt Data in north and Mt Isarog in SE peninsula; probably more widespread in mountains of N Luzon (Heaney et al., 1998).
