Uromys imperator: Comments
Comment:
Status: IUCN - Extinct. May be extinct (see Flannery, 1991; Groves and Flannery, 1994)
Comment:
Comments: Subgenus Cyromys. Type species of Cyromys; historically assigned to either genus Uromys or Cyromys, but is now regarded as a member of the former (Flannery and Wickler, 1990; Groves and Flannery, 1994). Known only by a few historical and archaeological specimens (Flannery, 1991; Groves and Flannery, 1994). Closest relative is apparently U. rex, also endemic to Guadalcanal Isl. Reviewed by Flannery (1995b)
