The lowland mosaic-tailed rat (Paramelomys platyops) is a species of rodent in the family Muridae, the family of true mice and rats. It belongs to the genus Paramelomys, whose members are rats of New Guinea and nearby islands, and the article records it from Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. The Wikipedia article this entry rests on is a short stub citing the 2005 Mammal Species of the World treatment of the superfamily Muroidea, so only identity, family and range are described. Its appearance, habitat preferences, diet and conservation status are left open for later sourcing.
