Marmoset rat

The marmoset rat (Hapalomys longicaudatus), also known as the greater marmoset rat, is a rodent of the family Muridae, the large family of Old World rats and mice, in the genus Hapalomys. It is found in Malaysia, Myanmar and Thailand, and its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry forest. The one threat the source names for it is habitat loss. A 1972 study of the genus Hapalomys by Guy G. Musser, published in American Museum Novitates as number 2503, is among the references cited for the species, alongside the Musser and Carleton treatment of the superfamily Muroidea in Mammal Species of the World. Beyond its range, habitat and the habitat loss threat, the cited article records little more about this species.
