Summary:Rattus steini Rümmler, 1935. Z. Säugetierk., 10:115. TYPE LOCALITY: New Guinea, Irian Jaya, Weyland Range, Kunupi Mt. DISTRIBUTION: Mid-montane elevations along Central Cordillera of Irian Jaya and Papua New Guinea, as well as highlands along the N coast and on Huon Peninsula (see map in Taylor et al., 1982:243). SYNONYMS: baliemensis, forsteri, hageni, rosalinda. COMMENTS: Until Taylor et al.'s (1982) revision, the distinctness of steini was obscured by its historical allocation as a subspecies of either leucopus, mordax, ringens, ruber, or verecundus.
