| Author: | Hodgson, 1841. | | Citation: | Calcutta J. Nat. Hist., 2: 60. | | Common Name: | Lesser Bamboo Rat | | Type Locality: | Nepal. | | Distribution: | E Nepal, through NE India (West Bengal, Assam, Meghalaya, Manipur, Nagaland, and Mizoram; Agrawal, 2000), Bhutan, SE Bangladesh, Burma (Ellerman, 1961), S China (SW Yunnan; Zhang et al., 1997), NW Vietnam (Dang et al., 1994), Thailand (J. T. Marshall, Jr., 1977a; Robinson et al., 1995), and Cambodia; see Kock and Posamentier (1983) and Lekagul and McNeely (1977). | | Status: | IUCN – Lower Risk (lc). | | Comments: | Reviewed by Corbet and Hill (1992). Regional faunal treatises provide informative accounts for populations in Thailand (J. T. Marshall, Jr., 1977a), Burma (Ellerman, 1961), and China (G. M. Allen, 1940). Agrawal (2000) reviewed Indian populations and could find no significant differences in fur coloration and other traits among the three subspecies (castaneus, pater, and plumbescens) recognized by Ellerman (1961) and treated them as full synonyms of C. badius. |
