Description
Eothenomys melanogaster (Milne-Edwards, 1871). Nouv. Arch. Mus. Hist. Nat. Paris, Bull., 7:93.
TYPE LOCALITY: China, W Sichuan, Moupin.
DISTRIBUTION: W and S China, north to S Gansu and Ningxia, south to N Thailand and N Burma; also on Taiwan.
SYNONYMS: aurora, bonzo, cachinus, colurnus, confinii, eleusis, fidelis, kanoi, libonotus, miletus, mucronatus.
COMMENTS: Allen (1940) treated miletus and eleusis as distinct species, and Corbet (1978c) acknowledged that more than one species may be represented in what he identified as E. melanogaster. After checking large museum series, we share this reservation and only provisionally ally these synonyms with melanogaster pending a systematic revision of the group. Conventional karyotype of Taiwan populations reported by Harada et al. (1991).
