TYPE LOCALITY: Indonesia , Sulawesi , NE peninsula, Menado . DISTRIBUTION: Throughout Sulawesi (Musser, 1991; Musser and Holden, 1991 ). SYNONYMS: aspinatus , lalawora, tetricus. COMMENTS: Considered conspecific with Sundaic M. whiteheadi by Ellerman and MorrisonScott (1951), but musschenbroekii is a distinct species endemic to Sulawesi ( Medway , 1977 ; Musser, 1991). Spermatozoal morphology more similar to that described for Malayan species of Maxomys than to sperm of other sampled Sulawesian species ( Breed and Musser, 1991 ).
