The Mindanao lowland forest mouse, Apomys littoralis, is a rodent in the family Muridae, the large family of true mice and rats, placed in the genus Apomys. English Wikipedia says it is found only in the Philippines, and it files the species among the fauna of Mindanao, the large southern island that gives it its common name. The Global Biodiversity Information Facility accepts the name Apomys littoralis (Sanborn, 1952) as a species of the order Rodentia in the class Mammalia, so it was first described by Colin Campbell Sanborn in 1952 and later moved to its present genus, as the brackets around the authority indicate. The short Wikipedia article cites Musser and Carleton in Mammal Species of the World as its reference.
