Crunomys fallax
Thomas,
1897. Trans. Zool. Soc. Lond., 14(6):394.
ORDER—RODENTIA
FAMILY—Muridae
COMMON NAME—Northern
Luzon shrew-mouse.
DISTRIBUTION—Known
only from a single specimen taken at about 300 m in the Sierra Madre of
northern Luzon [Isabela Province (BMNH)].
HABITAT—Unknown;
possibly confined to primary lowland forest (Musser, 1982c; Thomas,
1898).
STATUS—Unknown;
probably dependent on lowland forest, which has diminished greatly on
Luzon.
IUCN: Critically endangered. We believe this listing to be premature,
given the current lack of knowledge.
COMMENT—A
specimen from Cagayan Province, Luzon erroneously identified by Heaney
as this species (Danielsen et al., 1994) is now being described as a new
species of Archboldomys (Rickart et al., 1998).
