New Guinean jumping mouse

Mammals

The New Guinean jumping mouse (Lorentzimys nouhuysi) is a species of rodent in the family Muridae, the family that holds the true rats and mice of the Old World. Its scientific name places it in the genus Lorentzimys. According to its Wikipedia article, it is found in West Papua, Indonesia, and in Papua New Guinea, so its range covers both the Indonesian and the Papua New Guinean parts of the island of New Guinea. The article cites the treatment of Muroidea by Musser and Carleton in Mammal Species of the World (2005), at page 1352. It says nothing about the habitat, appearance or behaviour of the animal, so this entry limits itself to its identity, taxonomic placement and range.
