Mus colletti Thomas, 1904

Nov. Zool. 11: 599. (12 September 1904).

Common name. Dusky Rat.

Current name. Rattus colletti ( Thomas, 1904) , following Jackson & Groves (2015).

Paratype. M.3370 by subsequent determination. Female, study skin with skull in situ, collector’s No. 1826, Alligator River , collected by J. T. Tunney, 31.8.1903 . Received from the BMNH in 1923, registered in AM on 10 December 1923 .

Comment. Thomas states that he examined 25 specimens, apparently all from the South Alligator River, the type locality. Ten of these were registered in the BMNH (1904.4.4.3–12), including AM M.3370 (formerly BM 1904.4.4.8) which is thus a paratype (P. Jenkins, BMNH, pers. comm. 18 February 2014) .
