The South China white-bellied rat is a slender Niviventer with brown upperparts, sharply contrasting white underparts and a long bicoloured tail. It is recorded from southern China and has been separated taxonomically from several similar-looking white-bellied rats. Available accounts associate it with forest, shrubland and rocky vegetation, where it climbs and feeds on fruit, seeds and invertebrates. (Wikipedia, general species account)
