montane forest mouse.
DISTRIBUTIONEndemic to northern Luzon (Benguet [USNM], Ilocos Norte [SU], and Mountain [FMNH] provinces)
HABITAT Recorded in primary montane and mossy forest from 1600 m to 2500 m in montane and mossy forest in the Central Cordillera (Musser, 1982b; Rabor, 1955; Sanborn, 1952).

NOTE ADDED IN 2005--Current studies indicate that previous reports from 760 m to 1650 m elev. in the Sierra Madre (Danielsen et al., 1994; Mallari and Jensen, 1993) probably represent an unnamed species (Heaney, et al., in prep.)
