Max's short-tailed gymnure (Hylomys maxi) is a gymnure that lives in Malaysia and Indonesia.[1] It was previously recognized as a subspecies of H. suillus, but now is regarded as a full species.[2]
In Sumatra (Indonesia), this species has been found between 100 and 2,000 m (330 and 6,560 ft) above sea level.[2] On the Malay Peninsula, its range is restricted to between 600 and 1,700 m (2,000 and 5,600 ft) above sea level.[2] Its northern range on the peninsula may extend into very southern Thailand.[2]
