INTRODUCTION

Order Rodentia is the largest order of mammals both worldwide and in the Indomalayan region (Corbet & Hill, 1992). They are all comparatively smaller animals with great diversity in habits and modes of life. Rodents naturally display great diversity of form and

structure.

Ellennan and Morrison-Scott (1951) reported a list of mammal species including rodents in "Checklist of Palaearctic and Indian mammals, 1758-1946". He could give a list of valid taxa and their synonyms up to subspecies level. Ellerman's (1961) revisionary work gives details of each taxon under Rodent fauna of India including Pakistan, Burma (now Myanmar) and Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). Corbet and Hill (1992) revived Rodentia classification and gave a systematic list of species with their synonyms and kept subspecies names under variation with comments. Wilson and Reeder (2005) consolidated and compiled a huge list of global mammalian species in which they have reported classified systematic list of recognized species with valid subspecies. Agrawal (2000) has provided a detailed account on the murids along with hystricids of India. However considering the complexity of the taxonomic problems, he has not dealt with Genus Rattus

up to subspecies level. Further, the comments of Musser and Carleton in Wilson and Reeder (1993) that most of the species including African species need careful systematic review before recognizing Mus subgenera appeared to be more practical. Therefore it seems that authors like Agrawal (2000) and Alfred et al. (2002) did not recognize the subgenera and tried to simplify the classification directly at species level. However, subgenus Mus has been retained and considered valid in the latest version of Wilson and Reeder (2005). Srinivasulu and Pradhan, 2003 (Checklist of Murids); Srinivasulu and Jordan, 2004 (Checklist of Dipodids, Myoxids and Hystricids); Srinivasulu et al.,

2004 (Checklist of Sciuridae) reported a list of rodents species of South Asian countries with some comments on subspecies validity.

It has been observed that lot of changes have occurred in the rodent systematics while reviewing the above cited literature. Table-l

clearly indicates significant changes in number of valid genera, species and subspecies in all the countries of this subcontinent. Under these circumstances it was strongly felt necessary to give systematic/classified list of rodent taxa considered to be currently valid up to the subspecies level of the then British India region which includes India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Myanmar in a tabular fonn (Table 3). The present article is outcome of the same. Current taxonomic status and a validity of each and every taxon from family to subspecies described in past and recent years from each country has been highlighted in Table-2 under the column "Present valid name" with a support of the bibliographic reference.

However, Talmale (2007) has recorded number of variations in the northern Western Ghats populations. His studies based on morphological characters of

freshly collected as well as museum specimens of ZSI and BNHS specimens shows overlapping of measurements in no. of key characters of numarius and tristriatus. Therefore detailed taxonomic studies of numarius population from northern W. Ghats are strongly recomonded to assess its validity.

* Ghose et al. (2004) records the distribution of Funambulus pennanti chhattisgarhii upto East Maharashtra region including Chandrapur and Nagpur districts. However Talmale (2007) has recorded overlapping of measurements in number of key characters and colour variations in the specimens from entire Maharashtra population, and has strongly recommended that whole population from Maharashtra State should be considered as Funambulus pennantii pennantii only. It is, therefore, strongly recommended to conduct more surveys and collect fresh specimens to resolve the taxonomic validity upto subspecies level.

* Remarks: The Indo-malayan Rattus rattus subspecies need comprehensive revision with proper diagnoses. Much remains to be done to test even at a species limit. Most of the differences between species are subtle and are confused by subspecific variations. Most taxonomic work has been on too local a scale to adequately resolve the problems. Worst of all, the potential valuable data on chromosomes and genetic relationships has not yet been integrated comprehensively with the morphological data, often because of failure to preserve or record all the morphological parameters (Corbet & Hill,1992). While keeping forms like wroflghton; in Rattus tanezflmi mainly on the basis of 2n = 42 chromosome number and a few biochemical and morphological traits, Musser and Carleton (In Wilson & Reeder, 1993) also expressed doubts on the nature of specific relationship between Rattus rattus and Rattus tanezumi on the Indian subcontinent.

Before transferring wroughtoni of South West India to Rattus tanezumi, a fact was overlooked that some populations of Rattus rattus wroughtoni with chromosome number 2n = 38 have been reported in past by Sharma and Raman (1972) and Mithel (1977). A comparision of the Chromosomal patterns of Rattus ratllls wroughtolli reported from Indian peninsular region by Sharma and Raman (1972), Lakhotia et. al. (1973) and Mithel (1977) showed following interesting results.

Authors Chromosome No. Large Metacentric Large Subtelo- Graded Telocentric Graded Metacentric 2n Centric

Sharma and Raman (1972) 38 2 3 6+1 7

Lakhotia, Rao and Jhanwar 42 - 1 13 7 (1973)

Mithel (1977) 38 2 1 7+1 7+1

The above table for the comparative chromosomal patterns of Rattus rattus wroughtoni clearly shows that chromosomal trait can not be relied upon heavily for such a major shift ofthe well eastablished Rattus rattus subspecies (Rattus rattus wroughtoni) to Rattus tanezumi. Further, Pradhan et al (1991) on the basis of the studies on the electrophoretic patterns (PAGE) of haemoglobin proteins have shown that Rattus rattus rufescens and Rattus rattus wroughtoni were closely placed on the Genetic Identity Scale (UPGMA) as compared to Rattus norvegicllS.

In view of the above, provisional classification of RattllS rattllS subspecies as proposed by Musser and Carleton in Wilson and Reeder (1993) can not be accepted. Practicality based classification of Rattus rattllS subspecies as proposed by Corbet and Hill (1992) will have to be adopted, tentatively, till the taxonomic complications in respect of RattllS rattllS subspecies are resolved. In the revisionary studies, Musser and Carleton in Wilson and Reeder (2005) have retained Wroughtoni under RattllS rattllS.

* Since Rattus turkestanicus along with its all Indian subspecies have been synonymised in Rattus pyctoris on the basis of law of priority by Musser and Carleton in Wilson & Reeder (2005), Rattus pyctoris has been retained here as a separate species tentatively. However, studies carried out by Agrawal (2000) shows occurrence of distinct different populations in this region. Hence, detailed taxonomic studies of these populations are strongly recommended for conformation of their inclusion in R. pyctoris.
