WA Museum Records and Supplements | Updated 1 decade ago

Abstract: Paulamys naso was described from Holocene and Pleistocene fragments of dentary and lower teeth from western Flores Island by Musser (1981b) and Musser et al. (1986).

A single specimen of a distinctive murid live-trapped in 1989 at Kelimutu, central southern Flores, appears to be closely related to P. naso. This specimen is described in detail and its phylogenetic relationships are discussed.
