Solomys salamonis (Ramsay, 1883) View in CoL . 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.
