Treatment

Brachytarsomys albicauda Günther, 1875 . Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1875:80.

TYPE LOCALITY: Madagascar, between "Tamatave and Morondava."

DISTRIBUTION: E Madagascar rain forest at middle elevations.

SYNONYMS: villosa .

COMMENTS: The indeterminate nature of Günther's (1875) type locality might be restricted with archival research since the species occurs only in the east. Carleton and Schmidt (1990) suggested that villosa , named as a subspecies by F. Petter (1962a) based on a zoo specimen, is a distinct species; its geographic occurrence is unknown.
