The Bonthain rat, also called the southwestern xanthurus rat (Rattus bontanus), is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found only in southwestern Sulawesi, Indonesia, which makes it an endemic of one part of one island. The species was described by Oldfield Thomas in 1921 and is placed in the genus Rattus, the true rats. The article cites the 2024 IUCN Red List assessment, which lists it as Least Concern, and the Catalogue of Life reference in its infobox treats Rattus foramineus, named by Sody in 1941, as a synonym of the same species. Beyond its range and classification, the source says little about its biology.
