Eliurus antsingy Carleton, Goodman, and Rakotondravony 2001 View in CoL , Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., 114: 974.

Type Locality: Madagascar, Toliara Prov., Antsingy Forest , near Bekopaka; about 19º07.5′S, 44º49.0′E. GoogleMaps

Vernacular Names: Tsingy Tufted-tailed Rat.

Distribution: So far known from only two localities in dry forest peculiar to karst topography (tsingy), W Madagascar.

Discussion: Specific relationships unclear; although found in W Madagascar, E. antsingy is apparently not closely related to the more widely distributed western species, E. myoxinus ( Carleton et al., 2001) .
