Mallomys rothschildi Thomas 1898 View in CoL

Mallomys rothschildi Thomas 1898 View in CoL , Novit. Zool., 5: 2.

Type Locality: Papua New Guinea, Central Province, Owen Stanley Range, between Mt Musgrave and Mt Scratchley, 5000-6000 ft (1524-1830 m); see Flannery et al. (1989).

Vernacular Names: Rothschild's Mallomys.

Synonyms: Mallomys argentata Rothschild and Dollman 1932 ; Mallomys weylandi Rothschild and Dollman 1932 .

Distribution: New Guinea; Central Cordillera, from Weyland Range in W Prov. of Papua (= Irian Jaya) to Owen Stanley Range in Papua New Guinea; 1550-3700 m (Flannery, 1995 a:290; Flannery et al., 1989:93).

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: Mallomys rothschildi and M. aroaensis are thought to be sympatric at a few localities (Flannery, 1995 a; Flannery et al., 1989), but the morphological variation present among samples requires re-examination to test whether it reflects presence of one or two species.
