Habitat. All records are from upper montane tropical forest, grading up into ecotones with subalpine tussock grassland and shrubland. The lower elevations in Snow Mountains area in late 1930 s were a mosaic of primary and secondary forests and active subsistence gardens; most specimens were collected by local people who ranged up to local ridgetops at 3000 m. There are no confirmed records of Rimmler’s Brush Mouse in secondary forest or anthropogenic habitats. In Star Mountains, it was snap-trapped in “ grass ” and “ moss forest + grass ” at 3100 m, but also in “ moss forest ” at 3100 m and 3200 m. Elevational range is thus between 2200 m and tree-line at 4050 m in Snow Mountains, and 3100 - 3200 m in Star Mountains.

Status and Conservation. Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List, but not reassessed since the taxonomic separation of Rliimmler’s Brush Mouse and the Central Cordillera Brush Mouse (C. shawmayeri). The high-elevation habitats occupied by Rimmler’s Brush Mouse suffer little under traditional land use, but they face potential impact from regional resource-development activities.
