Zool. Soc. Lond., 1867: 600 . Type Locality: Indonesia , Sulawesi , NE tip of N peninsula, Manado (= Menado), 01E30'N/124E50'E, coastal plain near sea level (as restricted by Tate, 1936:586). Vernacular Names: Northern Sulawesi Echiothrix . Distribution: Sulawesi : NE tip of the N peninsula, sea level to 1100 m in lowland tropical evergreen rainforest ( Musser, 1990 ; Musser, ms). Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc). 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.
