The Sulawesi forest rat, Taeromys punicans, is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found only in central Sulawesi, Indonesia, and the English Wikipedia article says it is known only from Pinedapa, in Poso Pesisir, Poso Regency. That makes it a species with a very narrow documented range, recorded from a single locality on the island. It was named by Gerrit Smith Miller Jr. and Ned Hollister in 1921 and belongs to the genus Taeromys. The article is a short stub and gives no further detail on its habitat, diet or behaviour.
