Crateromys paulus Musser and Gordon 1981 View in CoL , J. Mammal., 62: 515.

Type Locality: Philippines, Mindoro Occidental Province, Ilin Isl.

Vernacular Names: Ilin Crateromys.

Distribution: Greater Mindoro Faunal Region in the Philippines. Known only from the type locality.

Conservation: IUCN – Critically Endangered.

Discussion: Still represented only by the holotype. The species is probably extinct on Ilin ( Pritchard, 1989), but people living on nearby Mindoro Isl report an animal resembling C. paulus living in lowland forest ( Oliver et al., 1993).
