LIST OF LAND MAMMALS OF NEW GUINEA, CELEBES AND ADJACENT ISLANDS 1758 to 1952 BRITISH MUSEUM (NATUR.\L HISTORY) LIST OF LAND MAMMALS OF NEW GUINEA, CELEBES AND ADJACENT ISLANDS 1758—1952 by ELEANOR M. O. LAURIE and J. E. HILL LONDON PRINTED BY ORDER OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE BRITISH MUSEUM Issued 30 June, 1354^ [Price One Pound Ten Shillings Sold at the British Museum (Natural History), Cromwell Road, S.W.7 and by B. Quaritch Ltd.; and H.M. Stationery Office -3 Aliis 1954 MADE AND PRINTED IN GREAT BRITAIN BY TONBRIDGE PRINTERS LTD., TONBRIDGE, KENT INTRODUCTION The area covered by this work includes the Solomon Islands, Bismarck Archipelago, Louisiade Archipelago, New Guinea, and the adjacent islands, including all those to the west as far as and including Lombok and Celebes. The western limit of the area corresponds with the eastern limit of the Malaysian area, whose mammals were listed by Chasen (1940), i.e. ^Vallace’s Line. Hollister (1912) gives a systematic list of the land mammals of the Philippines, which have also been comprehensively renewed by Taylor (1934), and Iredale and Troughton (1934) have listed the mammals of Australia. We have endeavoured to list all forms of recent land mammals, excluding domestic animals, named from 1758 (the tenth edition of Linnaeus) to the end of 1952. Thanks to the excellent libraries of the British Museum we have been able to refer to nearly all the original publications, and particular care has been taken to obtain the correct date of publication and the correct type locality for all the references. A gazetteer of all the type localities and a few of the more obscure localities from which animals have been collected is given at the end of this volume. It has been possible to attempt some revision of most of the genera found in the New Guinea — Celebes area. The number of forms believed to be groups with biological reality has been greatly reduced, particularly among the bats and to a lesser degree among the rodents and marsupials; no doubt further synonyms will be made as more material becomes available. The genera and species have been arranged in their natural order, but for the convenience of future revisers the subspecies have been arranged in the chronological order of their names. Three hundred and fifty-one species are recognized. ^Vhere there is doubt about the validity of a form its name has been put in square brackets. A question mark in parentheses in front of a name in a synonymy expresses doubt as to whether this name is really a synonym; a question mark in parentheses before a trivial name of a subspecies indicates that, although it is probably a race of the species to which it is here assigned, there is a doubt. The list includes the descriptions of five new subspecies, three new species, a new genus, and two new subgenera; the subgenera are described by J. R. Ellerman. Three of the new forms, including the new genus, came to this Museum in a recent collection of mammals made by Mr. F. Shaw Mayer in North-East New Guinea. The other new forms, four subspecies and two species, described here, are based on specimens which have been in our collections for some time; some were previously unidentified, others had been wrongly identified. \Vherever possible the approximate range of each form is given, this being based on records of localities from which the species or subspecies has been collected. The absence of any range indicates that the species or race has been recorded only from its type locality. Throughout the work references connected with the nomenclature of the taxa are given in full. Other important papers dealing with the relationships of the animals MAMMALS OF NEW GUINEA AND CELEBES 1758-1952 and their distribution are indicated by references to the bibliography at the end of the volume. It is believed that the two combined provide an almost complete list of the publications on the mammals of the area, up to June 1953. They include the valuable works of G. H. H. Tate,^ based on the Archbold collections, which greatly facilitated the preparation of this list. Acknowledgments Our sincere thanks are due to many of our colleagues in this Museum. We are especially indebted to T. G. S. Morrison-Scott, J. R. Ellerman and R. W. Hayman for their advice and assistance throughout the preparation of this work, and to our other colleagues in the Mammal Room who have given much general assistance. We should also like to thank A. G. Townsend, G. W. F. Glaxton, F. G. Sawyer, W. H. Mabbott and J. E. Yateman of the General and Zoological Libraries for help in connection with references, and L. R. Gonisbee and G. H. E. Hopkins for reading through the proofs and for their valuable suggestions. Authorship and New Names We take joint responsibility for this book, and all the new names, a list of which appears on page 138, are proposed by us jointly, except those of the two new sub- genera, which are proposed by J. R. Ellerman. E.M.O.L. J.E.H. British Museum (Natural History) <^othJune, 1953 ^ Since writing the above we have heard with much regret of Dr. Tate’s death on the 24th December, 1953.

Suncus Ehrenberg, in Hemprich and Ehrenberg, Symb. Phys. Mamm. 2:k. Type Suncus sacer Ehrenberg. Roller (1930) considered that Suncus indicus from Malaysia and the East Indies should be divided into a wild race {Suncus indicus indicus) and a commensal race {Suncus indicus caeruleus), a view rejected by Sody (1932) and Chasen (1940) who pointed out that the House Shrew is entirely commensal. The use by Roller of names extralimital to Malaysia and the East Indies (i.e., heterodon, fuscipes) for so-called varieties from this area cannot be altogether justified and they have been omitted from the present list. Chasen (1940) recognized one species and race of House Shrew in Malaysia {Suncus murinus murinus), together with two species of Pygmy Shrew {Suncus malayanus (Malaya; Peninsular Siam) and Suncus hosei (Borneo) ). British Museum material from Malaysia, Celebes and the Moluccas indicates that only a single form of House Shrew occurs throughout the Archipelago, as suggested by Hooijer (1950), who examined the types of miilleri, semmelinki and unicolor. The use of murinus as the specific name for the House Shrew is discussed by Cha.sen (1940) and by Ellerman & Morrison-Scott (1951).

Crocidura Wagler, Isis, 275. Type Sorex leucodon Hermann. Lack of material prevents revision of the members of this genus from the East Indies, and for the present there seems no alternative but to accept all the described forms, a difficulty recognized by Chasen (1940), who listed 29 species of Malaysian Crocidura. Crocidura probably occurs on many of the islands of the East Indian Archipelago as far east as, and including, the Molucca and Kei Islands, but present knowledge of this section of the genus and its distribution is very limited. Koller (1930) recorded specimens of Crocidura brunnea doriae from Celebes and Amboina, but since the use of this name seems open to some doubt (Chasen (1940) gives Borneo as the range of doriae) it has been omitted.

Subfamily Hipposiderinae Leaf-nosed Bats Genus HIPPOSIDEROS Gray 1831. Hipposideros Gray, Zool. Misc. 37, Type Vespertilio speoris Schneider. A review of this genus, with special reference to Indo-Australian forms, is given by Tate (1941b). Andersen (1918) provides a key to forms named before that date. Hipposideros bicolor (Temminck) The valid races of bicolor in this area seem likely to be : bicolor, aruensis, saevus and macrobullatus . There are no specimens of amboinensis in the B.M. collection; Tate (1941b) considered the name to be a probable synonym of aruensis. As understood here saevus includes bats with forearm 40-45 mm., and maxillary toothrow 5.5-6. 1 mm., while aruensis includes smaller bats with forearm 37-39 mm,, and maxillary toothrow 5. 1-5.3 In northern Australia the bicolor group is represented by the race albanensis, the distribution of which was said by Andersen (1918) to include Ceram and New Guinea. It is closely related to aruensis and may indeed be synonymous with this race. The distribution map given by Tate (1941b) for this group indicates that it extends through the Lesser Sunda Islands. We have been unable to find records of bicolor from these islands and Tate does not record the group from them in a later paper on the distribution of Australasian bats (1946). 54 CHIROPTEK\ HIPPOSIDERINAE (Hipposideros bicolor bicolor (Temminck).

Hipposideros galeritus Cantor There seems to be some doubt about the correct distribution of this species. The typical race is rare in collections, and the skull of its type is of doubtful value as the skin and skull may be mismatched (Tate (1941b) ). Chasen (1940) restricted H. g. galeritus to the Malay States and some small adjacent islands. H. g. labuanensis was considered by him to be confined to Borneo and to average slightly smaller than the typical race. A third race, H. g. schneideri, occurs in Sumatra. In recent years H. g. galeritus has been recorded from the Philippines by Sanborn (1952) and from Celebes by Shamel (1940). 55 MAMMALS OF NEW GUINEA AND CELEBES 1758-1952 Sanborn found his material to be identical in size with a series recorded as H. galeritus from Borneo by Lyon (1911). This series agrees with our specimens of labuanensis from north Borneo and must be regarded as belonging to this race : the range of labuanensis should therefore be extended to include the Philippines. Shamel (1940) recorded H. g. galeritus from Peleng Island and middle Celebes. His material seems more likely to belong to labuanensis rather than to the geographi- cally more distant galeritus, and this race is here tentatively recorded from Celebes. The material from south Celebes identified as H. g. galeritus by Sody (1930) was later named H. c. celebensis (Sody (1936) ). The distribution map for the group given by Tate (1941b) indicates occurrence in the Lesser Sunda Islands. We can find no records for these islands, and Tate does not record the group from them in a later paper on the distribution of Australasian bats (1946). (Hipposideros galeritus galeritus Cantor.

Lond. 538 (1858). Labuan, Borneo. Range : may possibly extend to northern and central Celebes, see comments above; extralimital. Hipposideros cervinus (Gould) H. cervinus is closely allied to H. galeritus and is included in the galeritus group of species. Tate (1941b: 366-369, 391-393, 365 distribution map for group) seems uncertain whether cervinus and its close allies should be treated as races of galeritus or should be retained as a species with races cervinus, batchianus, celebensis and insolens, extending from Australia to Borneo. The latter course is adopted here in order to retain the slightly less specialized eastern galeritus bats together: H. g. labuanensis, which occurs side by side with insolens in Borneo (and possibly also with celebensis in Celebes) forms a connecting link with the more specialized galeritus and allied species from the Greater Sunda Islands. The name crumeniferus applied by Peron to Hipposideros from Timor is not certainly determinable: from Peron’s plate the bat appears to belong to the galeritus group and to be most nearly allied to cervinus. Should discovery of the type or the collection of topotypes prove this so, crumeniferus will displace cervinus, used here as the pro- visional specific name for the eastern members of the group, and also galeritus as the group name. For the present, it must remain incertae sedis. Hipposideros cervinus cervinus (Gould) 1863. Rhinolophus cervinus Gould. Mamm. Austr. 5, pi. 34, letterpress. Cape York, northern Queensland.

The Asiatic and Australasian members of this genus are reviewed by Tate (1942a). 64 CHIROPTER.\ \ESPERTILIONINAE Subgenus PIPISTRELLUS Kaup Pipistrellus javanicus (Gray) For many years Malaysian bats belonging to the Pipistrellus abramus {no-w javanicus) group have been referred to Pipistrellus tralatitius (Horsfield). However, the status Vespertilio tralatitius Horsfield (Zool. Res. Java, 1824, pt. 8) is open to doubt (Tate (1942a) pp. 237, 241, 242). The B.M. collection received many of Horsfield’s type specimens among the contents of the Museum of the East India Company (later the India Museum) in 1879. Two specimens from the East India collections have been selected as the type of Vespertilio tralatitius Horsfield. Thomas and \Vroughton (1909) selected B.M. 79. II. 21. 124 from Java (said to be specimen “A” of Horsfield’s Catalogue of the Museum of the East India Company, 1851 : 39) as the type. On further examination Thomas found this to be an example of Pipistrellus imbricatus (Horsfield) and selected B.M. 62a, also from Java, a specimen presented by the East India Company before 1879, which has Horsfield’s native name for this bat, “Lowo-manir”, marked on its original label, perhaps by Horsfield. Thomas did not publish his reasons for re-selection of the type, but has recorded them on the labels of these two specimens and in the margin of our copy of the Zool. Res. Java. A third specimen, B.M. 7. i. i. 414, from the Tomes collection, has a note on its label by Tomes: “From Mr. Horsfield. June 1855. Identical with the type in the E. Ind. Comp. Museum” and thus seems to have been associated with Horsfield’s original specimen. A comparison of specimen B.M. 62a with Horsfield’s description reveals that it could not have been his type. Although the lower jaw and maxillary toothrows are all that remain of the skull, it is without doubt a Pipistrellus. The lower jaw cannot therefore agree with Horsfield’s description of “six lower grinding teeth”, of which the three premolars had simple points and were said to increase gradually in size from front to rear. The skin, which is in bad condition, is brownish and not sooty. The Tomes specimen, a skin and much damaged skull, is also a Pipistrellus. It seems clear that Thomas’ selection of a lectotype must be disregarded, and further search among our collections having failed to reveal a specimen that could have been Horsfield’s type, it must be presumed lost. W'ithout the original specimen, the value of Vespertilio tralatitius Horsfield is difficult to assess. Horsfield may have described a Myotis and failed to count the minute p^ of this genus, as suggested by Tate (1942a) : support is given to this by his dental formula (“molars 5-5/6-6”) and his description of sooty pelage. It is worth noting that Horsfield has miscounted the upper teeth in his description of Vespertilio imbricatus and gives the dental formula for the grinding teeth as “molars 4-4/5-5”; examination of the type shows that it is a Pipistrellus with a minute p^ almost invisible between the canine and p^. Temminck has also made the same mistake in describing Vespertilio horsfieldi, a Myotis. He gives the number of upper “molars” as five: Tate, who has examined the type, states (194 id) “p* minute, concealed on the inner side of p2 and p^”. On the other hand, Horsfield may have described a Myotis mandible mismatched with the cranium of a Pipistrellus. 65 MAMMALS OF NEW GUINEA AND CELEBES 1758-1952 Although specimen B.M. 62a and the Tomes specimen B.M. 7. i. i. 414 have skulls associated with the skins, only the uncleaned muzzle and mandible remain in each case. This suggests that they were originally “display” specimens. Specimens dating from the early nineteenth century were almost invariably mounted as “exhibition” or “display” specimens, in a lifelike position with the mouth open to show the teeth. During mounting the skull was rarely extracted, but was cut through just behind the palate and the braincase removed: the muzzle and lower jaw were left attached to the skin at the lips. The fragments that remain of these two skulls indicate that the specimens were treated in this way, and their present uncleaned condition suggests that the skins were “unstuffed” after arrival at this Museum, the skull fragments being too fragile to be cleaned. This view is also supported by the fact that although the skins have original labels by Horsfield & Tomes, the skulls have only B.M. labels written by Thomas. Had these skulls been in either Horsfield’s or Tomes’ collections as independent parts of the specimens, they would also have original labels. Thus, although it seems that both specimens were associated with the type, a direct comparison between their dentition and that of the type has probably never been made. Externally, Myotis muricola (Gray) is closely similar to the bat hitherto known as Pipistrellus tralatitius (Horsfield) and if Horsfield’s type had been a specimen of Myotis muricola (Gray), specimens of Pipistrellus tralatitius (Horsfield) could quite easily have been identified with it if the dentitions were not compared. It seems, therefore, that Tate’s suggestion should be adopted, and in view of the lack of the type and the inconsistencies in Horsfield’s description, we suggest that Vespertilio tralatitius Horsfield be regarded as indeterminable. Bats of the Pipistrellus javanicus (hitherto abramus) group from Malaysia are therefore left without a name. The next available name is Scotophilus javanicus Gray (Mag. Zool. Bot. 1838, 2: 498) based on a description by F. Cuvier (Nouv. Ann. Mus. d’H.N. 1832, /.‘2i), which antedates abramus by two yc2iX%. Pipistrellus tralatitius Thomas (P.Z.S. Lond. 1928: 143) (?z^c Horsfield) from Tam Dao, Tonkin, becomes a synonym of Pipistrellus javanicus javanicus (Gray), together with Pipistrellus tralatitius bancanus Sody (Temminckia, 1937, 2:2^"^) from' Banka Island, which was considered by Chasen (1940) and Tate (1942a) to be identical with the Javan form.

Shortridge on 3rd March, 1908 and presented by W. E. Balston. Collector’s number, 1451. Skin (in alcohol) and skull in good condition. Paratypes: 7 B.M. 9. 1.5. 427-433, 10 $$ B.M. 9. 1.5. 434-443 (in alcohol). All from type locality. These specimens had been identified by Thomas & Wroughton (1909) as Miniopterus tibialis Tomes, which is said to be distinguished from other species of Miniopterus by having the extremity of the tibia perfectly free of membranes for nearly a third of its length so that it appears like a slender shank. There is, however, no indication of this peculiarity in the topotype of tibialis in this Museum and it appears that the description of the type of tibialis may be misleading, this so-called distinguishing character probably being due to the state of preservation of the specimens. The measurements of the skin of the type and the skin and skull of the topotype of tibialis agree with those for australis with which it is now synonymized. This conclusion is supported by Sanborn (1952) who also synonymizes Miniopterus paululus Hollister from the Philippine Islands with australis. In the above specimens from south Java, the wing membrane is inserted at the end of the tibia near the heel, and the os colds with the tail membrane also starts from here. The specimens are also somewhat smaller than australis ( = tibialis) (forearm c. 35 mm.-c. 42 mm.). The general colour of the fur of M. a. minor is very similar to that of M. a. australis, most of the specimens being decidedly rufous, perhaps more so than in M. a. australis. In the type specimen the head, nape and upper part of the back are rufous-brown, the lower part of the back chocolate-brown. The hairs on the underparts have chocolate-brown bases and rufous tips. The skull is very similar to that of M. a. australis, but is definitely shorter: the total length of 16 specimens ranges from 12.8 to 13.3 mm., that of 30 specimens of M. a. australis from 13.4 to 14.7 mm.; the condylobasal length of 16 specimens ranges from 1 2. 1 to 12.7 mm., that of 13 specimens of M. a. australis from 12.8 to 13.9 mm. The length of the toothrow c-m^ is also less, 4.8 to 5.0 mm. (16 specimens), com- pared with 5.1 to 5.6 mm. in M. a. australis (42 specimens). The width across the canines is usually less in minor though the measurements just overlap with those of M. a. australis, i.e. 3.2 to 3.6 mm. for 16 specimens of minor compared with 3.5 to 4.4 mm. for 38 specimens of australis.

Lond. 1861 : 32) recorded a specimen labelled “Gorantalo” in the Leiden Museum, which he had identified as aerosa. We have examined this specimen, which does not agree with the type of aerosa in size or dentition. Roberts (1951) has suggested that in fact aerosa may be Asiatic in origin. R. W. Hayman has recently examined the syntypes'of aerosa (now in the B.M.), and compared them with other African and Asiatic Kerivoula. In ten type specimens of African Kerivoula he has found the length of the outer upper incisor to be usually three-quarters of that of the inner upper incisor, while in nine type specimens of Asiatic Kerivoula examined this ratio was found to be less than half. In only two examples of Asiatic Kerivoula was the ratio greater than half, picta (two-thirds), and agnella (three-quarters). In aerosa the ratio between the lengths of the upper incisors is one-third or less. This evidence, while by no means conclusive, suggests that Kerivoula aerosa may quite well refer to an Asiatic Bat, possibly from Celebes. Subgenus PHONISCUS Miller Kerivoula papuensis Dobson 1878.

There is nothing unusual about its pelage, which is dark chocolate-brown dorsally and lighter brown ventrally. The skull, however, differs markedly from that of microtis in the much smaller size of the teeth, especially in the height of the canines (1.8 mm., type of microdorv, 2.4 mm., type of microtis-, 2.5 mm., type of m. bicolor) and in the small size of the first premolar.

G 93 MAMMALS OF NEW GUINEA AND CELEBES 1758-1952 The diagnosis and name of the following subgenus are by J. R. Ellerman. RUBRISCIURUS subgen. n. Type species: Sciurus rubriventer Forsten The British Museum possesses three measurable skulls of Callosciurus rubriventer, the occipitonasal length of which varies between 63.8 and 68.3 mm. We have nine hundred and forty skulls for the other species of the genera Callosciurus and (Palaearctic) Sciurus, and not one of them reaches 60 mm. in length. Therefore there is a sharp distinction in size between C. rubriventer and all its allies. The size of the skull in C. rubriventer agrees with such genera as Ratufa and Rheithrosciurus, which are not normally below 60 mm. in occipitonasal length. C. rubriventer differs from Ratufa in having a long sagittal crest, much narrower frontals (their width about a third of the occipitonasal length or slightly less), and a proportionately longer palate. We have about a hundred and ninety measurable skulls of Ratufa in the British Museum, in all races of which the frontals average in width at least 37 per cent (sometimes over 40 per cent) of the occipitonasal length, the palate is relatively shorter, there is no sagittal crest and there are only 4 upper cheekteeth (C. rubriventer retains 5 upper cheekteeth). The generic position of C. rubriventer is not very clear as I do not think the structure of its baculum has been recorded, and Callosciurus essentially only differs from Sciurus in the structure of its baculum and its Indomalayan (instead of Palaearctic or American) habitat. But whatever the structure of the baculum in C. rubriventer, it stands so sharply apart from all other Sciurus and Callosciurus species of Europe and Asia that at least subgeneric rank seems required for it.

Type: Adult 3 B-M. ii. 7. 12. 39. Collected by C. B. Kloss on 8th April, 1911 and presented by the subscribers to the British Ornithological Union Expedition to Netherlands New Guinea.

These rats seem to be most closely related to Rattus rattus moluccarius from Burn. They are about the same size as moluccarius and have rather similar thin coarse pelage, but the general colour is much brighter. The dorsal pelage is bright tawny finely streaked with black ; most of the hairs are grey based tipped with ochraceous tawny. There is generally a sharp line of demarcation between the dorsal and ventral pelage but the colour of the underparts varies considerably from mixtures of pure white hairs and grey based hairs tipped with white or buffy, to whitish grey and buffy grey hairs with a slight tinge of tawny where the line of demarcation between the dorsal and ventral pelage is indistinct. In moluccarius the colour of the ventral pelage is a dirty greyish white and is not sharply defined from the dorsal pelage. The forefeet of amboinensis are covered with short, fine white hairs and a median band of dark hairs which is continuous with the dark pelage of the fore limb. The hindfeet are also covered with short, fine white hairs, but the dark median band is rather diffuse. The ears and tail are fuscous. The mammary formula is 2 -|- 3 = 10 ($ B.M. ii. 7. 12. 48), which is common for the rattus group. The skull is distinguished from that of moluccarius by the shorter, broader rostrum, the much wider nasals and wider zygomatic plate. In all these characters it resembles Rattus hofmanni, but is distinguished from it by the much larger bullae, slightly wider palate and narrower molar teeth, all of which are as for the rattus group.

PARUROMYS subgen. n. Type species: Rattus dominator Thomas Similar to normal members of the subgenus Stenomys as defined by Ellerman (1949, 2- 38), but differing in having the palatal foramina much shortened, on average only about 1 2 per cent of the occipitonasal length (the other rats referred to Stenomys have the palatal foramina long, averaging at least 15 per cent of the occipitonasal length). Rattus dominator is at extreme development the largest species referable to Rattus, our largest skull having an occipitonasal length of 62.5 mm. In its combination of long palate, short palatal foramina and small bullae with large size it is distinctly reminiscent of the genus Uromys, which, however, carries reduction of bullae and lengthening of the palate considerably further, has an extremely naked tail and normally a larger skull. It seems that on account of the reduction of its palatal foramina Rattus dominator Thomas, its ally Rattus frosti Ellerman and (from descriptions) Rattus microbullatus Tate & Archbold (which I have not seen) from Celebes merit subgeneric rank. In other characters they are nearest the Rattus bower si-muelleri group. Rattus dominator Thomas Rattus dominator dominator Thomas 1921. Rattus dominator Thomas, Ann. Mag. N.H. y: 244.

Ellerman (1941) and Frechkop (1948) follow Riimmler (1938) in placing Solomys in Melomys. We do not agree with this ; Solomys is a much larger animal and has a larger and much heavier skull with large bullae. Tate (1951a), on the other hand, considers that there is little difference between Solomys and Uromys and that sapientis and salebrosus are species of Uromys. No specimens of salebrosus have been seen, but it seems difficult to regard sapientis as a Uromys on account of obvious differences in the skull such as the very much larger inflated bullae, very long toothrow which is 20 per cent of the occipitonasal length (average of type and two other adult specimens), V-shaped back of the palate which extends to the anterior edge of m^, and the almost straight anterior edge of the zygomatic plate.

(See Plates I, II and III for figures of the skull.) MAYERMYS gen. n. The discovery of this new Hydromyine, collected by Mr. F. Shaw Mayer from the highlands of North-East New Guinea, is of particular interest as the molar teeth are minute and are reduced to t, one on each side of the upper and lower jaws, a condition which has not been previously recorded in any rodent or other mammal (see Plates I, II and III). The interparietal is considerably shortened antero- posteriorly so that it is minute or obsolete as in Pseudohydromys occidentalis. The skull is about the same size as that of Neohydromys, but is much flatter, and the braincase is rather square in outline. The incisor teeth are well developed, the upper slightly pro-odont and not grooved ; the palatal foramina are small as in Pseudohydromys and 133 MAMMALS OF NEW GUINEA AND CELEBES 1758-1952 Neohydromys. The bullae are small and flattened. As in Pseudohydromys the pterygoid- alisphenoid region is swollen and the angular projection of the mandible is well pronounced. In external appearance this murid is very similar to Neohydromys. This new genus is named in honour of F. Shaw Mayer, and the species in honour ofj. R. Ellerman. Type species'. Mayermys ellermani sp. n. Mayermys ellermani sp. n. Type locality: Northern slopes of Mount Wilhelm, Bismarck Range, North-East New Guinea, 8,000 ft. Type: Adult d B.M. 53. 277. Collected by F. Shaw Mayer on 22nd May, 1950. Skin and skull in good condition. Collector’s number, 1196. Paratypes: 2 dd B.M. 53. 278, 279 from Welya, forested ridges west Hagen Range, central highlands, North-East New Guinea, 8,000-9,000 ft; d B.M. 53. 280 from the forested northern slopes of Mount Giluwe, central highlands, North- East New Guinea, 8,000-9,000 ft. All paratypes collected by F. Shaw Mayer. In external appearance this small murid is very similar to Neohydromys fuscus, the most obvious difference being that the tail is longer than the total length of the head and body whereas in N.fuscus it is shorter. The pelage is smoky grey above with one or two faint flecks of white; it is only slightly lighter ventrally. Two specimens, 53. 278 and 279 have a small white spot in the middle of the chest. The ears are about the same colour as the body. The fore and hind feet are slender and are lightly covered with short white hairs. The feet are very similar to those of Pseudohydromys and Neohydromys and are of the terrestrial type but, as in Pseudohydromys and Neo- hydromys, there is a slight but definite membrane between the fingers and toes. There are a few white hairs on the wrists of the type specimen; in 53. 278 the wrists are encircled with white hairs. The tail is brownish both above and below and is lightly covered with short, fine, white hairs which are generally longer than the tail scales. These hairs are more numerous towards the tip of the tail which according to Shaw Mayer was white for 1 5 mm. The number of rings of scales per centimetre is about 15-16. Shaw Mayer also remarks on one specimen, 53. 278, that the “tail is somewhat flattened on all four sides”. It is difficult to judge from the dry specimens whether this “flattening” is really pronounced. In some specimens there is a slight keel along the upper and lower surface of the tail. This keel, however, is not only peculiar to Mayermys but also occurs in Pseudohydromys and Neohydromys. The skull (Plates I, II and III) is about the same size as that oi Neohydromys fuscus, but is much flatter. The incisor teeth are well developed and are slightly pro-odont, but the skull is at once distinguished from that of any other rodent by the minute molars of which there are only four, two in the upper and two in the lower jaw. The bullae are smaller and flatter than those of N. fuscus; and the pterygoid-alisphenoid region is swollen as in Pseudohydromys. Measurements of the type and paratypes in mm.
