[Maxomys] baeodon ( Thomas 1894) View in CoL , Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 6, 14: 452.

Type Locality: Malaysia, Sabah (N Borneo), Mt Kinabalu.

Vernacular Names: Small Bornean Maxomys.

Synonyms: Maxomys trachynotus (Cabrera 1920) .

Distribution: Known only from a few scattered localities in Sabah and Sarawak (N Borneo); occurs between 900 and 1400 m on Mt Kinabalu in Sabah ( Md Nor, 2001).

Conservation: IUCN – Endangered.

Discussion: A very distinctive species still represented in museum collections by few specimens (Musser et al., 1979). The record from Gunung Palung National Park in SW Kalimantan ( Blundell, 1996) is erroneous and represents misidentified M. whiteheadi (A. J. Gorog, pers. comm., 2001). Part of the suite of murines endemic to Borneo (Musser, 1986; also see account of Chiropodomys major ).
