Archboldomys kalinga is a small rodent from the mouse family. It lives only in the mountain forests of Luzon Island in the Philippines.
Archboldomys kalinga differs from closely related rodents by its elongated snout and special tooth structure. It is important for nature as a consumer of insects in the mountain forests of the Philippines.
