Hyorhinomys stuempkei

This species was discovered in 2015 by Jacob A. Esselstyn and his team, Anang S. Achmadi, Heru Handika, and Kevin C. Rowe.

[2] The word "snouter" references the spoof biological text The Snouters: Form and Life of the Rhinogrades, authored by the German zoologist Gerolf Steiner as the fictional naturalist "Harald Stümpke".

It is known only from Mount Dako in Tolitoli Regency, North Sulawesi, Indonesia.

Unusually, it lacks the coronoid process jaw muscle attachment point, presumably because its diet of earthworms and beetle larvae does not require forceful chewing.

[2] Its morphological distinctions from other shrew rats, along with phylogenetic analysis, led to it being placed in the new genus Hyorhinomys as the only species.
