Mus (Coelomys) vulcani Robinson and Kloss 1919 View in CoL

Mus (Coelomys) vulcani Robinson and Kloss 1919 View in CoL , Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 9, 4: 378.

Type Locality: Indonesia, W Java, Gunung Gede, Gandang Badak , 7900 ft (2408 m).

Vernacular Names: Javan Shrew-like Mouse.

Distribution: Endemic to upper montane tropical evergreen rain forests in mountains of W Java.

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (nt).

Discussion: Subgenus Coelomys . Originally described as a subspecies of Mycteromys crociduroides ( Chasen, 1940) , but vulcani is a separate species (based upon Musser’s study of specimens of vulcani and crociduroides ). Both M. vulcani and M. crociduroides are the only living native Mus recorded from islands on the Sunda Shelf (Musser, 1986; Musser and Newcomb, 1983). Part of the suite of murines endemic to Java (see account of Kadarsanomys sodyi ). Curiously, Wang (2003) listed M. vulcani as part of the Chinese fauna from S Yunnan.
