discussion
Discussion: A significantly larger relative of E. centrosa, with somewhat more elaborate molar occlusal patterns. Gray (1867 a) thought the holotype came from Australia, but Jentink (1883) speculated the species would prove to be found only on Sulawesi. Laurie and Hill (1954) listed the type locality as probably N Sulawesi, but Tate (1936) had already restricted it to the NE tip of the N peninsula by designating Manado.
Order Rodentia - Family Muridae
