Chiropodomys gliroides (Blyth, 1856) View in CoL . J. Asiat. Soc. Bengal, 24:721.

TYPE LOCALITY: India (Assam), Khasi Hills, Cherrapunji .

DISTRIBUTION: Documented from China (Guangxi and Yunnan), India (Assam), Burma, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Malay Peninsula, S Sumatra, Pulau Nias, Kepulauan Tujuh, Kepulauan Natuna, Java, and Bali (Musser, 1979; Wu and Deng, 1984), but probably occurs on other small islands of the Sunda Shelf, in Cambodia, and in other provinces of S China.

SYNONYMS: ana, jingdongensis , niadis , peguensis , penicillatus .

COMMENTS: Variation among some samples in certain morphological features is significantly correlated with geography both on mainland Indochina and islands of the Sunda Shelf (Musser, 1979). The geographic variation in Indochina is reflected in Wu and Deng's (1984) description of C. jingdongensis , based on a small sample from Yunnan, in which a few cranial dimensions average slightly larger than most samples of C. gliroides from elsewhere in its range, but are not otherwise significantly different. Chromosomal data reported by Yong (1973, 1983), J. T. Marshall, Jr. (1977a), and Tsuchiya et al. (1979).
