Summary: | Rattus stoicus (Miller, 1902). Proc. U.S. Natl. Mus., 24:759. TYPE LOCALITY: India, Andaman Isls, Henry Lawrence Isl. DISTRIBUTION: The islands of Henry Lawrence, Little Andaman, and South Andaman in the Andaman Arch. (Musser and Newcomb, 1983). SYNONYMS: rogersi, taciturnus (see Musser and Heaney, 1985). COMMENTS: Despite past confusion with Sundamys muelleri, R. stoicus is defined by a unique set of derived and primitive features, and is endemic to the Andaman Isls. (Musser and Newcomb, 1983). Its closest phylogenetic ally has yet to be determined (Musser, 1986). Published as part of Guy G. Musser & Michael D. Carleton, 1993, Order Rodentia - Family Muridae, pp. 501-755 in Mammal Species of the World (2 nd Edition), Washington and London :Smithsonian Institution Press on page 660, DOI:10.5281/zenodo.7353098 |
