Status: IUCN - Extinct (but see comments)
Comment:
Comments: Originally described from subfossil fragments (Musser, 1981c; Musser et al., 1986), but an extant specimen collected in tropical rainforest at 1600 m from SC Flores was referred to this species by Kitchener et al. (1991a), who suggested it is closely related to Sulawesian Bunomys. Apparently P. naso is not uncommon in forested habitats between 1000 and 2000 m on Gunung Ranaka in West Flores (Kitchener and Yani, 1998; Kitchener et al., 1998)
