The Sundaic mountain leopoldamys (Leopoldamys ciliatus) is a rodent of the family Muridae that was formerly considered a subspecies of Edwards's long-tailed giant rat and has one synonym, Leopoldamys setiger. It occurs in the montane forests of Sumatra, Indonesia, and peninsular Malaysia, typically at elevations above one kilometre, and is a terrestrial and possibly arboreal species found in primary and degraded tropical moist forest. It was first described as Mus ciliata by J. L. J. Bonhote in 1901, from Gunong Inas on the Malay Peninsula. It is listed as Least Concern by the IUCN Red List because of its wide distribution, presumed large population and presence in protected areas, although its population is decreasing as its habitat is cleared for timber, firewood and agricultural land.
