Treatment

Maxomys musschenbroekii (Jentink, 1878) View in CoL . Notes Leyden Mus., 1:10.

TYPE LOCALITY: Indonesia, Sulawesi, NE peninsula, Menado .

DISTRIBUTION: Throughout Sulawesi (Musser, 1991; Musser and Holden, 1991).

SYNONYMS: aspinatus , lalawora, tetricus.

COMMENTS: Considered conspecific with Sundaic M. whiteheadi by Ellerman and MorrisonScott (1951), but musschenbroekii is a distinct species endemic to Sulawesi ( Medway, 1977; Musser, 1991). Spermatozoal morphology more similar to that described for Malayan species of Maxomys than to sperm of other sampled Sulawesian species ( Breed and Musser, 1991).
