Abstract: In 1983, a specimen of Hadromys was collected from Ruili, western Yunnan, China. Although there were a series of differences between the specimen and H. humei, for one specimen was only collected, it was temporarily determined as H.humei and reported as a new record of the genus in Chinese Mammalian fauna (Yang et al., 1985). In 1985, a series of specimens were collected again. Its character was fully proved to be steady, so the rat collected from Ruili, western yunnan actually was a new subspecies of Hadromys humei. It may be described as follows:Hadromys humei yunnahensis subsp,nov.

Key words: New subspecies, Genus Hadromys, Hadromys humei
