Solomys salamonis (Ramsay, 1883) . Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W., 7:43.

TYPE LOCALITY: Solomon Isis, Florida Isl in the Nggela Group (see Flannery and Wickler, 1990:13) .

DISTRIBUTION: Endemic to Florida Isl in the Solomon Arch. (Flannery and Wickler, 1990).

COMMENTS: Originally described as a Mus, the species was transferred to Uromys (Riimmler, 1938; Tate, 1951), but then correctly placed in Solomys by Troughton (1936). Known by a few extant specimens. S. salamonis is also recorded from Nggela Island (Flannery and Wickler, 1990), but Flannery (in litt.) claimed the species is known only from the skull of the holotype.
