Trefoil-toothed giant rat

The trefoil-toothed giant rat (Lenomys meyeri) is a species of rodent in the family Muridae, the large family that holds the true mice and rats, within the order Rodentia and the class Mammalia. It belongs to the genus Lenomys, and its authority citation, Jentink, 1879, is written in parentheses, which in zoological naming shows that it was first described under a different genus and later moved. It is found only in Sulawesi, Indonesia, where it is located throughout the island, which makes it an endemic of that large Indonesian island. The English Wikipedia article is a short stub that gives this range and the family and cites the Muroidea chapter by Musser and Carleton in the 2005 edition of Mammal Species of the World, so little more about its habits or numbers is recorded in the sources used here.
