SPECIES Uromys (Cyromys) rex
| Author: | Thomas, 1888. | | Citation: | Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 6, 1: 157. | | Common Name: | King Uromys | | Type Locality: | Solomon Isls, Guadalcanal Isl, Aola. | | Distribution: | Found only on Guadalcanal Isl. | | Status: | IUCN – Critically Endangered. | | Comments: | Subgenus Cyromys. Another Guadalcanal species that has historically been placed in either genus Uromys or Cyromys, but is currently allocated to the former (Flannery and Wickler, 1990; Groves and Flannery, 1994). Still represented by less than a dozen specimens (Flannery, 1991), and likely the only species in subgenus Cyromys that is not extinct (Flannery, 1995b). |
