Berylmys manipulus (Thomas 1916)

[Epimys] manipulus Thomas 1916 , J. Bombay Nat. Hist. Soc., 24 (3): 413.

Type Locality: C Burma, Kabaw Valley, Kampat, 20 mi (32 km) west of Kindat.

Vernacular Names: Manipur Berylmys.

Synonyms: Berylmys kekrimus Roonwal 1948 .

Distribution: India in Assam (Golaghat), Nagaland (Kekrima and Naga Hills), and Manipur (Bishenpur, Senapati, and Imphal); N and C Burma, and S China (W Yunnan); distribution extracted from Agrawal (2000), Musser and Newcomb (1983), Wang (2003), Yang and Wu (1979), and Zhang et al. (1997).

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: The taxon kekrimus was described as a subspecies and based on specimens from Nagaland, but Agrawal (2000), who reviewed the Indian segment of B. manipulus , could find no morphological basis for recognizing any significant differences between the Nagaland sample and typical B. manipulus .
