Mammal., 62: 515. | Common Name: | Ilin Crateromys | Type Locality: | Philippines, Mindoro Occidental Province, Ilin Isl. | Distribution: | Greater Mindoro Faunal Region in the Philippines. Known only from the type locality. | Status: | IUCN – Critically Endangered. | Comments: | Still represented only by the holotype.
