Limnomys bryophilus Rickart, Heaney, and Tabaranza 2003 View in CoL

Limnomys bryophilus Rickart, Heaney, and Tabaranza 2003 View in CoL , J. Mammal., 84 (4): 1445.

Type Locality: Philippines, NC Mindanao, Bukidnon Province, Mt Kitanglad Range, 18.5 km S, 4 km E Camp Phillips, 2250 m (08E09' 30"N, 124E51'E).

Vernacular Names: Gray-bellied Limnomys.

Distribution: Greater Mindanao Faunal Region in the Philippines. Recorded only from Mt Kitanglad Range between 2250 and 2800 m primary tropical upper montane rainfores and transition between upper and lower montane forest; may occur elsewhere in montane forests on Mindanao ( Rickart et al.,2003).

Discussion: A larger-bodied, longer-tailed close phylogenetic ally of L. sibuanus with grayish rather than white underparts. The latter occurs in lower montane forest on the Mt Kitanglad Range, is replaced at higher elevations by L. bryophilus , but the two are sympatric at the type locality ( Rickart et al.,2003). Karyotype indistinguishable from that of L. sibuanus (Rickart and Heaney, 2002) .
