Max's short-tailed gymnure

Max's short-tailed gymnure (Hylomys maxi) is a gymnure that lives in Malaysia and Indonesia. It was previously recognized as a subspecies of H. suillus, but now is regarded as a full species.

In Sumatra (Indonesia), this species has been found between 100 and 2000 m above sea level. On the Malay Peninsula, its range is restricted to between 600 and 1700 m above sea level. Its northern range on the peninsula may extend into very southern Thailand.
