Rattus stoicus (Miller, 1902) View in CoL . Proc. U.S. Natl. Mus., 24:759.

TYPE LOCALITY: India, Andaman Isls, Henry Lawrence Isl .

DISTRIBUTION: The islands of Henry Lawrence, Little Andaman, and South Andaman in the Andaman Arch. ( Musser and Newcomb, 1983).

SYNONYMS: rogersi , taciturnus (see Musser and Heaney, 1985).

COMMENTS: Despite past confusion with Sundamys muelleri , R. stoicus is defined by a unique set of derived and primitive features, and is endemic to the Andaman Isls. ( Musser and Newcomb, 1983). Its closest phylogenetic ally has yet to be determined (Musser, 1986).
