SPECIES Hylomys suillus

Common Name:Short-tailed Gymnure
Type Locality:Indonesia, "Java en het andere van Sumatra".

Comments:Revised by Ruedi et al. (1994) who considered suillus, maxi, dorsalis, siamensis and probably peguensis, microtinus, and tionis as valid subspecies. Further genetic studies by Ruedi and Fumagalli (1996) suggest that siamensis, maxi and dorsalis may even be distinct species.
