Type Locality: N Dem. Rep. Congo, near village of Yaenero on left side of Congo River, 450 m (see W. Verheyen et al., 1996 a, for additional information) .
Vernacular Names: Hutterer's Brush-furred Rat.
Distribution: N Dem. Rep. Congo; equatorial lowland tropical rain forest between 300 and 450 m on left side of Congo River between Lualaba and Lomami Rivers, and west of the Lomami River to Ndele.

Morphological and morphometric contrasts among L. huttereri , L. nudicaudus , and L. sikapusi documented by W. Verheyen et al. (1996 a), who also mapped the distribution and discussed how the range of L. huttereri is concordant with the South-Central zoogeographic faunal region.
