[Maxomys] musschenbroekii (Jentink 1878) View in CoL , Notes Leyden Mus ., 1: 10.

Type Locality: Indonesia, Sulawesi, NE peninsula, Menado.

Vernacular Names: Musschenbroek's Sulawesi Maxomys.

Synonyms: Maxomys aspinatus ( Tate and Archbold 1935) ; Maxomys lalawora ( Sody 1941) ; Maxomys tetricus (Miller and Hollister 1921) .

Distribution: Throughout Sulawesi in most forest formations (Musser, 1991; Musser and Holden, 1991).

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: Considered conspecific with Sundaic M. whiteheadi by Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1951), but musschenbroekii is a separate species endemic to Sulawesi ( Medway, 1977; Musser, 1991). Spermatozoal morphology more similar to that described for Malayan species of Maxomys than to sperm of other sampled Sulawesian species ( Breed and Musser, 1991). Occurs sympatrically with all other species of Sulawesian Maxomys , and does not show significant morphological variation among samples from different island regions (Musser, ms).
