Small Luzon forest mouse

The small Luzon forest mouse (Apomys microdon) is a rodent of the family Muridae, the Old World mice and rats, placed in the subfamily Murinae and the genus Apomys, the Philippine forest mice. It is found only in the Philippines. The species was described by N. Hollister in 1913, in a review of the Philippine land mammals held in the United States National Museum, and its type specimen came from Viga on Catanduanes Island. The Mammal Diversity Database lists it as a living species of the Indomalayan realm, also called the small Luzon Apomys, and records its IUCN Red List status as Least Concern. Beyond its range and classification, the sources consulted say little about its appearance or ecology.
