Comment:
Comments: A larger-bodied, longer-tailed close phylogenetic ally of L. sibuanus with grayish rather than white underparts. The latter occurs in lower montane forest on the Mt Kitanglad Range, is replaced at higher elevations by L. bryophilus, but the two are sympatric at the type locality (Rickart et al.,2003). Karyotype indistinguishable from that of L. sibuanus (Rickart and Heaney, 2002)
