The long-tailed mountain rat (Niviventer rapit) is a rodent in the family Muridae that is endemic to the island of Borneo, where it is found in Indonesia and Malaysia. It has been recorded at elevations of 940 to 3,360 metres above sea level. The Wikipedia account calls it a poorly known species that is presumably common and assumed to inhabit forests and scrubland. The Mammal Diversity Database adds that it was described in 1903 as Mus rapit from Mount Kinabalu, lists the alternative names Bornean white-bellied rat, montane Bornean Niviventer and rapit rat, places it in the tribe Rattini, and gives its IUCN Red List status as Least Concern.
