Ugi naked-tailed rat

The Ugi naked-tailed rat, Solomys salamonis, is a rodent of the family Muridae in the genus Solomys. It is poorly known and possibly extinct: the record of the species rests on a single specimen collected on Ugi Island in the Solomon Islands, and no wider range is documented in the sources used here. The GBIF taxonomic backbone lists the name as accepted and credits Ramsay with the description in 1883. Because the species is represented by one collected specimen, its habits, diet, population size and conservation status cannot be described with confidence, and further sources will be needed before more can be said. The common name points to Ugi Island, where that specimen was found.
