Zool. Soc. Lond., 1867: 598 . Type Locality: Indonesia , NE Peninsula, Manado. Vernacular Names: Long-tailed Taeromys . Distribution: Sulawesi : recorded from throughout the island in lowland tropical evergreen rainforest, sea level to 1200 m ; absent from montane forest formations ( Musser and Holden, 1991 ). Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc). Discussion: Documented from SW peninsula only by subfossil fragment ( Musser, 1984 ), but from elsewhere by extant specimens. An arboreal species with a very long tail relative to head and body length, and morphologically unlike any other species in the genus, all of which are terrestrial and have relatively short tails ( Breed and Musser, 1991 ; Musser and Newcomb, 1983 ; Musser, ms). Taeromys celebensis is relatively common in primary forest, not difficult to trap, and represented by many more specimens than the other species of Taeromys . It is superficially similar to Paruromys dominator and often misidentified as that species in museum collections.
