Description
Niviventer niviventer (Hodgson, 1836). J. Asiat. Soc. Bengal, 5:234.
TYPE LOCALITY: Nepal, Katmandu.
DISTRIBUTION: NE Pakistan, Nepal, and N India (Punjab, Kumaon, Darjeeling, Sikkim).
SYNONYMS: lepcha, monticola, niveiventer.
COMMENTS: Nature of relationship of N. niviventer with N. confucianus to the east requires resolution in context of systematic revision of the genus, but to date "there is yet no convincing evidence that the Nepalese populations are the same as those from areas farther east in northern Burma and China " (Musser, 1981 b:253) or from N Thailand (Abe, 1983:160).
