[Epimys] manipulus Thomas 1916, J. Bombay Nat. Hist. Soc., 24 (3): 413.

Type Locality: C Burma, Kabaw Valley, Kampat, 20 mi (32 km) west of Kindat.

Vernacular Names: Manipur Berylmys.

Synonyms: Berylmys kekrimus Roonwal 1948 .

Distribution: India in Assam (Golaghat), Nagaland (Kekrima and Naga Hills), and Manipur (Bishenpur, Senapati, and Imphal); N and C Burma, and S China (W Yunnan); distribution extracted from Agrawal (2000), Musser and Newcomb (1983), Wang (2003), Yang and Wu (1979), and Zhang et al. (1997).

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: The taxon kekrimus was described as a subspecies and based on specimens from Nagaland, but Agrawal (2000), who reviewed the Indian segment of B. manipulus, could find no morphological basis for recognizing any significant differences between the Nagaland sample and typical B. manipulus .
