Crunomys suncoides Rickart, Heaney, Tabaranza, Jr., and Balete 1998
Crunomys suncoides Rickart, Heaney, Tabaranza, Jr., and Balete 1998, Fieldiana Zool., n. s., 89: 8.
Type Locality: Philippines, Mindanao Isl, Bukidnon Province, 18.5 km S, 4 km E Camp Phillips, 2250 m, 08°09'N, 124°51'E.
Vernacular Names: Katanglad Shrew Mouse.
Distribution: Greater Mindanao Faunal Region. Known only from the type locality but may occur elsewhere on Mindanao in primary tropical upper montane rainforest (Rickart et al., 1998).
Discussion: Recorded only by the holotype. On Mt Katanglad, the montane C. suncoides is separated by about 700 m from the upper altitudinal range limits of C. melanius, which also occurs elsewhere in lowlands near sea level (Rickart et al., 1998). Standard karyotype (2n = FN = 36) substantially different from any other Philippine Old Endemic (Rickart et al., 1998; Rickart and Heaney, 2002).
