Rattus (Cremnomys) elvira Ellerman, 1946, Kurumbapatti, Salem District, Tamil Nadu, Eastern Ghats, India. This species is monotypic. Distribution. Known only from the type locality in Eastern Ghats, S India. Descriptive notes. Head-body 126-149 mm, tail 180-196 mm, ear 21-22 mm, hindfoot 30-32 mm. No specific data are available for body weight. Softfurred rat with a tail longer (c.130%) than head-body length. Tail is slightly bicolored. Dorsal pelage is brown gray, ventral white gray. Compared to the Cutch Rat (C. cutchicus), the Elvira Rat has a longer hindfoot and a larger skull. Females bear three pairs of mammae. Karyotype is 2n = 36. Habitat. Tropical dry deciduous scrub forest, where it isseen in rocky areas In arecent survey, populations of the Elvira Rat were found in rocky habitat, living in cliffs and the gaps between rocks, which were surrounded by sparse grass, herbs, and tall trees. Food and Feeding. No information. Breeding. No information. Activity patterns. Elvira Rats are terrestrial and probably nocturnal. Movements, Home range and Social organization. No information. Status and Conservation.
