The narrow-tailed white-bellied rat (Niviventer lepturus) is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. The English Wikipedia article states that it is found only in Indonesia, so the species is endemic to that country. It belongs to Niviventer, a genus of white-bellied rats of Asia, and its classification follows the Mammal Species of the World reference by Musser and Carleton. GBIF accepts the name Niviventer lepturus, credited to Jentink in 1879, and records its IUCN Red List category as Least Concern, so it is not currently judged to be at risk of extinction.
