Lenomys meyeri (Jentink 1879) View in CoL

[Mus] meyeri Jentink 1879 , Notes Leyden Mus ., 1: 12.

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

Vernacular Names: Meyer's Lenomys.

Synonyms: Lenomys lampo Tate and Archbold 1935 ; Lenomys longicaudus Miller and Hollister 1921 .

Distribution: Recorded only from N, C, and SW Sulawesi.

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: Represented by a small extant series from the N peninsula and C core, and by both modern specimens and subfossils from the SW peninsula of Sulawesi ( Musser, 1970 d; 1984). A second undescribed species is known from a subfossil fragment collected in the SW arm of Sulawesi ( Musser and Holden, 1991; Musser, ms). Flannery (1995 b) identified a large-bodied rat, with shaggy pelage and long bicolored tail, from Pulau Sangir (off coast of NE peninsular tip of Sulawesi) as Lenomys meyeri , but the specimen represents an undescribed species related to mainland Rattus xanthurus (Musser, ms); Lenomys has yet to be collected on any island off the coast of Sulawesi.
