The ricefield rat lives in grasslands and fields of rice and has a spotty geographic distribution that extends from the mainland of Southeast Asia to the Philippines and New Guinea. I also list and discuss the scientific names that apply to R. argentiventer and point out the zoogeographic significance of its occurrence on Celebes and New Guinea"--P.
