Comment:
Status: IUCN - Critically Endangered
Comment:
Comments: The diagnostic traits Tate and Archbold (1938) used to separate this species from the other two (short, dense fur and gray upperparts with a white blaze on forehead) identify a lowland population of Leptomys that shows no morphological intergradation with samples of the other three species of Leptomys (Musser and Lunde, ms). Leptomys signatus is still known only by the four examples in the type series
