SPECIES Hylomys suillus
Author: | Müller, 1840. | Citation: | In Temminck, Verh. Nat. Gesch. Nederland Overz. Bezitt., Zool., Zoogd. Indisch. Archipel.: 50 [1840]. | Common Name: | Short-tailed Gymnure | Type Locality: | Indonesia, "Java en het andere van Sumatra". | Distribution: | Peninsular Malaysia to Indochina and the Yunnan/Burma border; islands of Borneo, Java, Sumatra and Tioman. | Status: | IUCN – Lower Risk (lc). | 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. |
