Distribution. Known only from seven localities in Central Cordillera of New Guinea, including Star (= Jayawijaya) Mts and the Hindenburg, Victor Emanuel, and Blucher ranges. A subfossil specimen from an owl pellet deposit at 3450 m on Mt Jaya, W New Guinea, may also represent this species; if confirmed, this would extend both the geographic and elevational range of Mirza's Western Moss Rat. in Muridae
