Heleodromia immaculata

description: Heleodromia immaculata Haliday
Heleodromia immaculata Haliday, 1833: 159. Type locality: Ireland, Holywood, Downshire.
Sciodromia immaculata: Sack, 1923: 7 (expedition results).
Remarks. Heleodromia immaculata was reported from Novaya Zemlya by Sack (1923), but this record needs to be confirmed. Species identification of Heleodromia is dependent on careful study of the complex male terminalia and the shape of the male tergite 8 (Sinclair et al. 2011).

Niviventer coninga

description: Niviventer coninga (Swinhoe 1864)
[Niviventer] coninga (Swinhoe 1864), Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1864: 185.
Type Locality: Taiwan.
Vernacular Names: Spiny Taiwan Niviventer.
Synonyms: Niviventer coxinga (Swinhoe 1871); Niviventer coxingi (Thomas 1892).
Distribution: Endemic to Taiwan, below about 2000 m and common at 1300 m (H.- T. Yu, 1993, 1994; M.-J. Yu, 1996).
Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (nt) as N. coxinga.
Discussion: Corbet and Hill (1992:364) explained why coninga instead of coxingi is the correct name for this species. Musser (1981 b) included a population from NE Burma, but that is a separate undescribed species; current morphometric analyses indicates N. coninga is not closely related to any species of Niviventer on the mainland (Musser and Lunde, ms), but analysis of mtDNA cytochrome b sequences ties N. coninga to N. tenaster within a clade also containing N. confucianus and N. culturatus (J. L. Patton, in litt., 2000). Chromosomal data documented by H.- T. Yu et al. (1996) and contrasted with karyotype of Taiwanese N. culturatus, which indicates that N. coninga and and Taiwanese N. culturatus are not sister-species but represent independent invasions of Taiwan from the Asian mainland, a pattern also supported by allozymic data (H.- T. Yu, 1995). Ecology, altitudinal distribution, and genetic population structure documented by H.- T. Yu (1993, 1994, 1995) and Adler (1995, 1996).

Heleodromia irwini

description: Heleodromia irwini Wagner
Heleodromia irwini Wagner, 1985: 37. Type locality: Scotland, Moray, Dorback Burn, UK.
Other references: Sinclair et al., 2011: 641 (revision, redescription); Shamshev, 2016: 17 (checklist).
Material examined. RUSSIA. Chukotka AO (Wrangel Island): middle flow of river Neozhidannaya, 71°01′N 179°09′E, YPT, BT 4, 12–16.vii.2016, LFV (1 ♂, ZIN).
Recognition. Small greyish delicate flies (body length 3–3.5 mm) with very slender legs almost lacking distinct setae, eyes dichoptic in both sexes, separated by broad V-shaped flattened frons; legs black to reddish brown, “knees” often somewhat paler; habitually very similar to H. pullata (Fig. 2, see below). Male terminalia large, reniform; tergite 8 not broader than sternite 8, only produced medially as a shallow bilobed to forked projection and lacking posterolateral projection (Sinclair et al. 2011: 641, fig. 10); epandrial lobe slender, finger-like, bearing apical seta; surstylus slender, finger-like, with scattered setae, with small preapical thumb-like projection medially; apex with short dentiform process; phallus with slender, needle-like apex.
Distribution. Holarctic. The distribution of this species appears to be represented by widely disjunct populations exhibiting boreo-alpine connections in Europe and North America (Plant 2005; Plant et al. 2017; Sinclair et al. 2011). Our record of H. irwini from Wrangel Island may support this suggestion. In Eurasia, this species is known from Austria, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Scotland and the Far East of Russia (Amurskaya and Magadanskaya Provinces); in North America, it is recorded from western part of Canada and USA. It seems that H. irwini is found here for the first time from the tundra zone.
Habitat. The species was collected in wetlands in a river valley.

Material examined. RUSSIA. Chukotka AO (Wrangel Island): Somnitelnaya Bay, on stony river shore, 23.vii.1971, KBG (1 ♂, ZIN); upper flow of river Khischniki, 7 km SE Sovetskaya Mtn, 200 m, dryad tundra near river, 11.vii.1972, KBG (3 ♂, 1 ♀, ZIN); middle flow of river Mamontovaya, 71°10′N 179°45′W, BT 2, YPT, 2–4.vii.2015, OAK (2 ♂, 2 ♀, ZIN); same locality, 71°10′N 179°45′W, BT 3, Sw, 1.vii.2015, OAK (1 ♀, ZIN); upper flow of river Neizvestnaya, 71°13′N 179°19′W, BT 2 В, 8–29.vii.2015, OAK (1 ♂, 1 ♀, ZIN); same locality, 71°13′N 179°19′W, BT 13, YPT, 6–15.vii.2015, OAK (1 ♂, ZIN).
Recognition. Small greyish delicate flies (body length 3–3.5 mm) with very slender legs almost lacking distinct setae, eyes dichoptic in both sexes, separated by broad V-shaped flattened frons; legs black to reddish brown, “knees” often somewhat paler (Fig. 2). Male terminalia large, reniform; tergite 8 simple, lacking dorsomedial elongation or process (Sinclair et al. 2011: 644, fig. 11B); epandrial lobe slender, digitiform; surstylus slightly shorter than epandrial lobe, with apical third slender and digitiform; phallus with apex membranous and broad.
Distribution. Holarctic; in North America, H. pullata is widely distributed in northern Canada and Alaska, occurring on tundra and in boreal forests, with isolated populations in the Rocky Mountains of Arizona, Colorado and New Mexico (Sinclair et al. 2011); in Eurasia, it is known from Taymyr Peninsula and Magadanskaya Province of Russia. Among the Russian Arctic islands, H. pullata is recorded only from Wrangel Island.
Habitat. This species was collected on Wrangel Island mainly in river beds, where it was found in biotopes with different moisture levels (also on stones).

[Niviventer] cremoriventer (Miller 1900), Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., 13: 144.
Type Locality: S Peninsular Thailand, Trang Province, Trang (07E30'N, 99E18'E).
Vernacular Names: Sundaic Arboreal Niviventer.
Synonyms: Niviventer barussanus (Miller 1911); Niviventer cretaceiventer (Robinson and Kloss 1919); Niviventer flaviventer (Miller 1900); Niviventer gilbiventer (Miller 1903); Niviventer kina (Bonhote 1903); Niviventer malawali (Chasen and Kloss 1932); Niviventer mengurus (Miller 1911); Niviventer solus (Miller 1913); Niviventer spatulatus (Lyon 1911); Niviventer sumatrae (Bartels 1937).
Distribution: Peninsular Thailand and Malaya and some offshore islands; Mergui Arch., Anambas Isls; Sumatra, and smaller islands of Nias, Billiton and Banka; Borneo and some offshore islands, Java, and Bali; see Musser (1973 c) and Corbet and Hill (1992). Does not occur north of the Isthmus of Kra (10E30'N).
Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).
Discussion: Revised by Musser (1973 c, 1981 b); a Sundaic endemic whose closest morphological and likely phylogenetic relative is the Indochinese N. langbianis. Considerable variation in body size exists among samples, with those in small island populations being larger than individuals in populations on larger islands and the Malay Peninsula (Musser, 1973 c). Tuen et al. (2000) documented N. cremoriventer from peninsular Mt Santubong in W Sarawak, and Md Nor (1996) recorded its distribution and ecology on the small islands off N tip of Sabah. This generally lowland species reaches 1530 m on the slopes of Mt Kinabalu in Sabah (Md Nor, 2001, and references cited therein). Niviventer cremoriventer joins N. rapit as the only two species in the genus occurring on Borneo.

description: Clinocera appendiculata (Zetterstedt)

Other references: Sack, 1923: 7 (expedition results); Sinclair, 1999: 224 (revision); Shamshev, 2016: 18 (checklist).
Remarks. The identification history of C. appendiculata is somewhat confusing (see Sinclair (1999) for details), consequently the record of this species from Novaya Zemlya (Sack 1923) requires confirmation. We expect this record to possibly be Clinocera aucta (Zetterstedt, 1849) (Sinclair 2008).

Niviventer culturatus

description: Niviventer culturatus (Thomas 1917)
[Niviventer] culturatus (Thomas 1917), Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 8, 20: 198.
Type Locality: Taiwan, Mt Arizan, 8000 ft (2440 m).
Vernacular Names: Soft-furred Taiwan Niviventer.
Distribution: Endemic to highlands of Taiwan, 2000-3000 m (H.- T. Yu, 1994; M.-J. Yu, 1996).
Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (nt).
Discussion: Historically listed as a species (Ellerman, 1941), a subspecies of N. niviventer (Ellerman, 1961; Ellerman and Morrison-Scott, 1951; Wang and Zheng, 1981), or included in N. confucianus (Musser, 1981 b; Corbet and Hill, 1992). Niviventer culturatus is a distinctive insular form that in morphology superficially resembles mainland N. confucianus, but differs sufficiently that it should be treated as a species, as revealed by multivariate analysis of morphometric traits by Musser and Lunde (ms), which also clusters N. culturatus with the Javan N. lepturus, Chinese N. andersoni and N. excelsior, and Burmese N. brahma, but not with N. confucianus. Analyses of mitochondrial cytochrome b sequences also highlights the specific integrity of N. culturatus but places it with N. confucianus, N. coninga, and N. tenaster in a monophyletic clade (J. L. Patton, in litt., 2000; N. langbianis and N. fulvescens were the only other Niviventer sampled). Chromosomal data documented by H.- T. Yu et al. (1996) and compared with karyotype of N. coninga (see account of that species). Ecology, distribution and abundance along an elevational gradient, and genetic population structure documented by H.- T. Yu (1993, 1994, 1995); microhabitat use reported by Adler (1996).

Recognition. This species of Clinocera is readily distinguished by the presence of an auxiliary crossvein between R 2+3 and R 4, lower half of face with silvery pruinescence and a dark ring around the anterior spiracle (Fig. 3).
Distribution. A Holarctic species distributed across the subarctic and arctic areas of Eurasia and North America (Sinclair 2008). In Russia, C. nivalis is known from Murmanskaya Province, Novaya Zemlya, north of Yakutia, Chukotka and Wrangel Island.
Habitat. On Wrangel Island, this species was collected in various wet habitats.

description: Niviventer eha (Wroughton 1916)
[Niviventer] eha (Wroughton 1916), J. Bombay Nat. Hist. Soc., 24: 428.
Type Locality: India, Sikkim, Lachen, 8800 ft (2680 m).
Vernacular Names: Smoke-bellied Niviventer.
Synonyms: Niviventer ninus (Thomas 1922).
Distribution: Recorded from C and E Nepal, India (West Bengal, Sikkim, and N Assam; Agrawal, 2000, and Ellerman, 1961), N Burma (Musser, 1970 b), and S China (S Xizang and W Yunnan; Wang, 2003) in montane forests.
Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).
Discussion: Reviewed by Musser (1970 b) and Corbet and Hill (1992). Shared morphological traits and proportions support the hypothesis of close phylogenetic relationship between N. eha and N. brahma (Musser, 1981 b; Corbet and Hill, 1992), but this alliance should be tested by analyses of other morphological traits and gene sequences. Anthony reviewed the population from N Burma, and G. M. Allen (1940) discussed distribution and morphological traits of population in Yunnan. Zhang et al. (1997) mapped the species as occurring east of Yunnan in the provinces of Guizhou and Guangxi, but those records are so far out of the documented biogeographical range that they require verification. Biology, habitats, and aspects of morphological variation for samples from C and E Nepal reported by Abe (1971) and Gruber (1969).

Type Locality: SW China, W Sichuan, Tatsienlu, 9000 ft (2744 m).
Vernacular Names: Sichuan Niviventer.
Synonyms: Niviventer tengchongensis Deng and Wang 2002.
Distribution: SW China (W Sichuan, NW and C Yunnan); see Musser and Chiu (1979) and Wang (2003).
Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).
Discussion: A montane southwestern Chinese endemic apparently morphologically most closely related to N. andersoni and occurring sympatrically with it and N. confucianus (Musser, 1981 b; Musser and Chiu, 1979). Early to middle Pleistocene cave sediments in the Sichuan-Guizhou region of S China have yielded fossils identified as N. excelsior (Zheng, 1993). See account of N. andersoni. In his checklist of Chinese mammals, Wang (2003:203) listed tengchongensis as simply "Deng et Wang, subsp. Nov. 2002," a subspecies of N. excelsior, but the taxon has yet to be published with a diagnosis and identification of holotype (D. Lunde, in litt., 2004).

Niviventer fraternus

description: Niviventer fraternus (Robinson and Kloss 1916)
[Niviventer] fraternus (Robinson and Kloss 1916), J. Str. Br. Roy. Asiat. Soc., 73: 373.
Type Locality: Indonesia, W Sumatra, Korinchi Peak, 4700 ft (1432 m).
Vernacular Names: Montane Sumatran Niviventer.
Synonyms: Niviventer atchinensis (Sody 1941).
Distribution: Montane forest formations along mountainous backbone of W Sumatra.
Discussion: Originally described as Epimys fraternus, but subsequently treated as a subspecies of Rattus rapit (Chasen, 1940), R. orbus (Ellerman, 1941), or Niviventer rapit (= Chasen’s R. rapit; Musser, 1970 b; Corbet and Hill, 1992); the latter authorities also included the Bornean rapit and Malay Peninsula cameroni as subspecies. Niviventer fraternus is about same size or larger than N. rapit, but smaller in body size than N. cameroni, without a tufted tail, and has a wider zygomatic plate than either N. cameroni or N. rapit. Multivariate analyses of morphometric traits cluster N. fraternus tightly with N. fulvescens and its allies and not with either N. cameroni or N. rapit (Musser and Lunde, ms). Member of a murine cluster endemic to Sumatra (Musser, 1986; also see account of Maxomys hylomyoides).

Type Locality: Indonesia, W Java, Gunung Gede.
Vernacular Names: Montane Javan Niviventer.
Synonyms: Niviventer fredericae (Sody 1931); Niviventer maculipectus (Sody 1934).
Distribution: Endemic to montane forest in W and C Java (based upon specimens in AMNH, BMNH, MVZ, RMBR, and RMNH).
Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).
Discussion: Reviewed and compared with other species of Niviventer by Musser (1981 b). Originally described as a species, subsequently kept that way in a " lepturus Group" by Ellerman (1941:197), then arranged as a subspecies of rapit (Chasen, 1940; Sody, 1941), and finally recognized again as a separate species and distinctive member of the endemic Javan murine fauna (Corbet and Hill, 1992; Musser, 1986; Musser and Newcomb, 1983; see account of Kadarsanomys sodyi). Multivariate analyses of morphometric traits cluster N. lepturus with the Taiwanese N. culturatus, Chinese N. andersoni and N. excelsior, and Burmese N. brahma, and not with any of the other species of Niviventer occurring on the Sunda Shelf (Musser and Lunde, ms).

Cyphon chlorizans species group: Yoshitomi, 2005: 129; Ruta, 2007: 324.
Cyphon reconditus species group: Klausnitzer, 2005: 20.
Diagnosis. TL about 1.4–3.6 mm, but most species are small (<2.0 mm). Shape of body oval to oblong. Antennae normal, shorter than TL. Coloration variable, yellowish brown to black. Mandibles symmetrical. Gular sutures not attached at anterior margin of gula; subgenal ridges connecting with ridges running near mandibular articulation (Zwick 2013). Sternite VIII reduced, often Y-shaped. Sternite IX large/reduced, V- or U-shaped, symmetrical/ asymmetrical. Tegmen Y-shaped, long/short. Penis symmetrical/asymmetrical, elongate; trigonium well developed, projecting postero-ventrally; parameroid developed, longer than trigonium, consisting of one plate in most species, paired in some species.
Remarks. This genus is subdivided into three species groups (Ruta 2007; Klausnitzer 2009). In the present paper, I follow this concept of the species groups, and add one species group. Immature stages, larval habitat, and biology are unknown.

Niviventer rapit

description: Niviventer rapit (Bonhote 1903)
[Niviventer] rapit (Bonhote 1903), Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 7, 11: 123.
Type Locality: Malaysia, Sabah (N Borneo), Gunung Kinabalu.
Vernacular Names: Montane Bornean Niviventer.
Distribution: Highlands of Borneo (specimens in BMNH, MZB, RMBR UMMZ, and USNM); found between 940 and 3360 m on the slopes of Mt Kinabalu in Sabah (Md Nor, 2001), and probably occurs throughout Borneo in mountain forests. In 1998, a large sample was collected by A. J. Gorog on Bukit Baka in Bukit Raya National Park in SW Kalimantan (specimens in UMMZ and MZB).
Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).
Discussion: Reviewed and contrasted with other species of Niviventer by Musser (1981 b), who arranged cameroni from the Malay Peninsula and fraternus from Sumatra as subspecies. Musser and Carleton (1993) noted that the "hypothesis that only one species is involved in such a disjunct insular distribution requires evaluation in context of systematic revision of Niviventer." Recent unpublished multivariate analyses of morphometric variation among samples of all species of Niviventer indicates that the three taxa are morphologically highly distinctive and that each should be treated as a separate species (Musser and Lunde, ms). In those analyses, N. rapit is isolated among species of Niviventer, does not cluster with either N. cameroni or N. fraternus, and differs from the latter two by its long and tufted tail, short molar rows, small bullae, and short and wide incisive foramina, among other traits. Member of the suite of murine species endemic to Borneo (Musser, 1986; see also account of Chiropodomys major).
