This species is currently known only from three positively identified specimens from Balochistan, Pakistan, although an additional five specimens of the type series may exist in collections of the Pakistan Agricultural Research Council as discussed by M. E. Holden in 1996. Additional specimens mentioned by T. |]. Roberts in 1977 and 1997 from Wam, near Quetta, and near Harboi may also represent

Head-body 99-103 mm, tail 93 mm, ear 18-20 mm, hindfoot 21 mm; weight 33-38 g. No sexual dimorphism reported. Niethammer’s Forest Dormouse is similar in size to the Eurasian Forest Dormouse (

) but has highly inflated auditory bullae and relatively longer incisive foramina. Dorsal pelage color of Niethammer’s Forest Dormouse is tawny ash-gray, with no conspicuous darkening toward midline. Dorsal pelage texture is soft and somewhat long (rump hairs 11-13 mm, guard hairs up to 15-16 mm). Ventral pelage is uniformly cream colored, and dorsal pelage is clearly delineated from ventral pelage. Head color matches that of dorsal pelage; face is paler. Conspicuous brownish black eye mask extends from bases of ears to vibrissae; eye mask is conspicuous but not as broad as that of Eurasian Forest Dormouse. Ears of Niethammer’s Forest Dormouse are brown, somewhat long, and rounded; post-auricular patches are not present. Hindfeet are white and long, ¢.21% of head-body length. Tail is long, ¢.94% of head-body length, based only on measurement of the type specimen, because the other two specimens’ tails are damaged. Dorsal tail color generally matches that of dorsal pelage, and ventral tail color is paler; white hairs are scattered throughout tail fur, and tail is conspicuously tipped in white. Tail hairs are shorter at base oftail and longer toward tip. Skull is moderately large, comparable in size to Eurasian Forest Dormouse, but more gracile and with greatly inflated auditory bullae. Condylobasal length is 24-9-25-4 mm, zygomatic breadth is 15-9 mm, and upper tooth row length is 3-6-3-8 mm. External and cranial measurements listed are from holotype plus two additional specimens from Balochistan, Pakistan. Chromosome number is not known. Females have four pairs of nipples (I pectoral + 1 abdominal + 2 inguinal = 8).

|
||
Classified as Vulnerable on The IUCN Red List. Niethammer’s Forest Dormouse has a limited and fragmented distribution ofless than 20,000 km? and severe fragmentation and decline in quality of suitable forest and woodland habitat has occurred in this area. Niethammer’s Forest Dormouse is endemic to Pakistan; however, limits of its distribution have yet to be determined. Threats include fragmentation and degradation of habitat due to overgrazing and removal of wood and expanding agriculture and human settlements. An influx of refugees during recent years has intensified human population pressures and accelerated degradation and fragmentation of habitat. There are protected areas in and near distribution ofthis species such as Hazarganji-Chiltan National Park, near Quetta.
