Taeromys microbullatus (Tate and Archbold 1935) View in CoL

[Taeromys] microbullatus ( Tate and Archbold 1935) View in CoL , Am. Mus . Novit., 802: 8.

Type Locality: Indonesia, SE Peninsula, Pegunungan Mekongga (= Mengkoka), Tanke Salokko (highest place in Pegunungan Mekongga), 03E35'S/121E15'E, 1500 m.

Vernacular Names: Small-eared Taeromys.

Distribution: Recorded only from the type locality.

Discussion: Still represented only by two adults and a juvenile collected in 1932. Although described as a species of Rattus , microbullatus has been allied to the Rattus xanthurus group ( Ellerman, 1941), included in Paruromys ( Ellerman, 1949 a; Laurie and Hill, 1954) or synonymized with T. callitrichus ( Corbet and Hill, 1992; Musser, 1970 d; Musser and Carleton, 1993), but morphometric analyses indicates the small sample represents a distinctive entity that is more closely related to T. callitrichus than to any other species of Taeromys (Musser, ms).
