Co's shrew mouse

Co's shrew mouse, Soricomys leonardocoi, is a rodent of the genus Soricomys found on the island of Luzon in the northern Philippines. The Mammal Diversity Database lists it under the common name Leonardo shrew mouse and also records Mingan shrew mouse, after Mount Mingan Peak in Aurora Province, Luzon, where the type specimen was collected. It belongs to the family Muridae, subfamily Murinae and tribe Hydromyini. The species was described in 2012 by Balete and colleagues in a paper that reconsidered the genus Archboldomys and recognised Soricomys as a new genus, together with three new species of shrew mice from Luzon. The database records it as a living species known from the wild and gives its IUCN Red List status as not evaluated.
