Treatment

Maxomys hellwaldii (Jentink, 1878) View in CoL . Notes Leyden Mus., 1:11.

TYPE LOCALITY: Indonesia, Sulawesi, NE peninsula, Menado .

DISTRIBUTION: Throughout Sulawesi in tropical lowland evergreen rain forest ( Musser and Holden, 1991).

SYNONYMS: cereus, griseogenys, localis.

COMMENTS: Among Sulawesian representatives of Maxomys , M. hellwaldii is most closely related to M. dollmani (Musser, 1991) . Spermatozoal morphology was unlike species of Malayan Maxomys studied, and more similar to species of Margaretamys , another Sulawesian endemic ( Breed and Musser, 1991).
