Apomys sacobianus
Johnson,
1962. Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, 75:318.
ORDER—RODENTIA
FAMILY—Muridae
COMMON NAME—Long-nosed
Luzon forest mouse.
DISTRIBUTION—Endemic
to Luzon (Isabela [FMNH], Mountain [USNM], Pampanga [USNM], and Zambales
[PNM] provinces).
HABITAT—Poorly
known, but it apparently occurs in primary forest from about 200 m to
1100 m (Danielsen et al., 1994; Johnson, 1962;
Mallari and Jensen, 1993;
Musser, 1982c).
STATUS—Uncertain.
The available data indicate that it is widespread in northern and central
Luzon. IUCN: Vulnerable (but we consider this listing to be premature,
given the current lack of knowledge).
NOTE ADDED IN 2005--All specimens referred to this species other than the holotype may belong to other species; currently under study by Heaney, et al.
