Description
Rattus stoicus (Miller, 1902). Proc. U.S. Natl. Mus., 24:759.
TYPE LOCALITY: India, Andaman Isls, Henry Lawrence Isl.
DISTRIBUTION: The islands of Henry Lawrence, Little Andaman, and South Andaman in the Andaman Arch. (Musser and Newcomb, 1983).
SYNONYMS: rogersi, taciturnus (see Musser and Heaney, 1985).
COMMENTS: Despite past confusion with Sundamys muelleri, R. stoicus is defined by a unique set of derived and primitive features, and is endemic to the Andaman Isls. (Musser and Newcomb, 1983). Its closest phylogenetic ally has yet to be determined (Musser, 1986).
