[Rattus] sodyi Bartels 1937 , Treubia, 16: 45.

Type Locality: Indonesia, W Java, Gunung Pangrango-Gede, 1000 m .

Vernacular Names: Javan Bamboo Rat.

Distribution: Java.

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (nt).

Discussion: Morphology, natural history, and comparisons with Rattus and Lenothrix reported by Musser (1981 a); the species is arboreal and was collected from nests in bamboo. Represented only by modern series collected in W Java during 1933-1935, and subfossil fragments from C and E Java ( Musser and Newcomb, 1983). Among Sundaic murines, Kadarsanomys has no close phylogenetic allies, but some cranial and dental traits indicate a distant relationship with Rattus ( Musser and Newcomb, 1983) , and especially the Sulawesi R. xanthurus Group. Kadarsanomys sodyi joins Sundamys maxi , Mus vulcani , Niviventer lepturus , Maxomys bartelsii , and Pithecheir melanurus as a member of the murine fauna endemic to Java (Musser, 1986).
