Brachytarsomys villosa F. Petter 1962 View in CoL , Mammalia, 26: 570.
Type Locality: Description based on a specimen held in captivity in the "Vivarium de Tsimbazaza;" type locality requires formal restriction.
Vernacular Names: Hairy-tailed Antsangy.
Distribution: So far recorded only from the western slopes of the Anjanaharibe-Sud Massif, N Madagascar.
Discussion: Named as a subspecies by F. Petter (1962 a) based on a zoo specimen, but Carleton and Schmidt (1990) suggested that villosa is a distinct species. Rediscovered in the wild by Goodman et al. (2001 b) and contrasted to B. albicauda ; distributional limits unknown.
