De Vis's woolly rat (Mallomys aroaensis) is a species of rodent in the family Muridae that is found only in Papua New Guinea. It is placed in the genus Mallomys and was named by Charles Walter De Vis in 1907, which is where its common name comes from. The IUCN Red List assessment that Wikipedia cites, published in 2016 with a 2017 erratum, rates the species as Least Concern. The article places it among the rodents of New Guinea and is a short stub, so it gives no account of the animal's size, diet or habits.
