Status: IUCN - Vulnerable
Comment:
Comments: Pseudohydromys occidentalis and its eastern relative P. murinus are found only in tropical upper montane rainforest. Other than being montane and primarily insectivorous, little is recorded about its natural history (Flannery, 1995a). Records from the Star Mtns and Victor Emmanuel Range in W Papua New Guinea attributed to P. occidentalis (Flannery, 1995a:256) actually represent a separate morphologically distinctive species (K. Helgen, in litt., 2003)
