Dacnomys millardi Thomas 1916 View in CoL , J. Bombay Nat. Hist. Soc., 24 (3): 404.

Type Locality: India, West Bengal, near Darjeeling, Gopaldhara, 3440 ft (1050 m).

Vernacular Names: Millard's Dacnomys.

Synonyms: Dacnomys ingens Osgood 1932 ; Dacnomys wroughtoni Thomas 1922 .

Distribution: E Nepal (specimens in FMNH), NE India (West Bengal, Nagaland, and Arunachal Pradesh; Agrawal, 2000), N Laos, NW Vietnam (only west of the Red River; specimens in FMNH and MVZ), and S China (S and NW Yunnan; Li et al., 1987; Wang, 2003; Zhang et al., 1997); probably occurs over a wider geographic range (N Burma, for example; Musser, 1981 b).

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: The few known specimens show appreciable variation in body size, but as Corbet and Hill (1992:360) noted, "too few specimens are available to assess the overall variation." Reviewed by Osgood (1932), Agrawal (2000), Corbet and Hill (1992), and Musser (1981 b).
