Diomys crumpi Thomas 1917

Diomys crumpi Thomas 1917, J. Bombay Nat. Hist. Soc., 25: 203.

Type Locality: India, Bihar, Hazaribagh Dist., Paresnath Hills.

Vernacular Names: Crump's Diomys.

Distribution: Recorded from NE India (Bihar and Manipur; Agrawal, 2000), SW Nepal, and N Burma (see Musser and Newcomb, 1983); limits unknown.

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (nt).

Discussion: Reviewed by Ingles et al. (1980), Corbet and Hill (1992), and Musser and Newcomb (1983). Indian population reviewed by Agrawal (2000). The species has never been collected again from the type locality, a place where D. crumpi may not occur because the original description was based upon a broken skull mismatched with a skin of Millardia meltada from Paresnath Hills, Behar (Agrawal, 2000; Corbet and Hill, 1992).
