Comment:
Status: IUCN - Vulnerable
Comment:
Comments: Included in H. chrysogaster by Ellerman (1941) and Ziegler (1982b), but recognized as a New Britain endemic by Flannery and White (1991) and should retain this status until significance of its diagnostic traits can be assessed in a systematic revision of the large-bodied forms of Hydromys, as Tate (1951:236) already noted. Reviewed by Flannery (1995b)
