Crateromys schadenbergi Meyer 1895 View in CoL , Abh. Mus . Dresden, 6: 1.

Type Locality: Philippines, N Luzon Isl, Mountain Province, Mt Data.

Vernacular Names: Luzon Crateromys.

Distribution: Greater Luzon Faunal Region in the Philippines. Endemic to the mountains of N Luzon ( Heaney et al., 1998; Oliver et al., 1993; Sanborn, 1952 a).

Conservation: IUCN – Vulnerable.

Discussion: The largest-bodied of all the species of Crateromys and an arboreal inhabitant of oak-pine forest where it builds stick-nests in tree crowns for shelter ( Oliver et al., 1993; Heaney et al., 1998). In many ways, C. schadenbergi is an ecological and morphological equivalent of large-bodied tropical tree squirrels ( Sciuridae ), which do not occur in the Greater Luzon Faunal Region.
