Comment:
Status: IUCN - Lower Risk (lc)
Comment:
Comments: Flannery (1990b, 1995a) reviewed the little distributional and biological information recorded for the species, which unlike species of Hydromys, is not amphibious. Donnellan (1987) reported chromosomal data. Cole et al. (1997) discussed a specimen from the Mt Dayman region at the E end of the species' range. Aplin et al. (1999) reported a specimen of this species from a Holocene archaeological site on the Ayamaru Plateau, central Bird's Head Peninsula of Prov. of Papua (= Irian Jaya)
