On the occurrence of the Indomalayan long-tailed climbing mouse Vandeleuria oleraceus (Rodentia: Muridae) in eastern Indochina

P. 52-56
The distribution of Vandeleuria oleraceus in eastern Indochina was analysed based on the available information and museum specimens. There are a few records from Laos, the only confirmed locality in Cambodia and records from north-western and southern Vietnam. The population from southern Vietnam (Dalat Plateau) is likely to be a geographic isolate that could represent a distinct taxon.
