Anonymomys mindorensis Musser 1981 View in CoL

Anonymomys mindorensis Musser 1981 View in CoL , Bull. Am. Mus . Nat. Hist., 168: 300.

Type Locality: Philippines, Mindoro Isl, Halcon Range, Ilong Peak, 4500 ft (1370 m).

Vernacular Names: Mindoro Forest Anonymomys.

Distribution: Greater Mindoro Faunal Region: endemic to Mindoro and recorded only from primary mountain forest on Mount Halcon although probably occurs throughout the island where montane forest formations persist.

Conservation: IUCN – Vulnerable.

Discussion: The original series of this arboreal montane rat consists of three specimens collected in 1954 ( Musser, 1981 b); three additional examples were collected on northern flanks of Mount Halcon during 1992 (in CMNH). Anonymomys mindorensis joins Apomys gracilirostris , Chrotomys mindorensis , Rattus mindorensis , and an undescribed species of Maxomys as Mindoran endemics.
