T. Marshall, Jr. 1976 Leopoldamys neilli J. T. Marshall, Jr. 1976 , Family Muridae : rats and mice [Privately printed by Government Printing Office, Bangkok ]: 485 . Type Locality: Thailand , Saraburi Prov, Kaengkhoi Dist., "outside the entrance to the bat cave, half-way up the face of a wooded limestone cliff, 200 meters altitude." . Vernacular Names: Neill's Leopoldamys . Distribution: N and SW Thailand north of the peninsular region (J. T . Marshall, Jr.,1977 a ; study of specimens in AMNH , BMNH , and USNM ); limits unresolved (may also occur in adjacent Burma and Vietnam ). Conservation: IUCN – Endangered. Discussion: Documented by few specimens: three samples are from wooded limestone cliffs in Saraburi Province and adjacent Kanchanaburi Province in the southwest (J. T . Marshall, Jr., 1977 a ; specimens in AMNH and USNM ), one comes from lowland bamboo forest in a different part of Kanchanaburi Province ( Wiles, 1981 ), and a fourth consists of owl pellet fragments collected in Loei Province in the north ( BMNH 94.374). Phylogenetic relationship of L. neilli to other extant members of Leopoldamys requires resolution by systematic revision employing morphological and molecular data.
