The Huon small-toothed moss mouse (Pseudohydromys carlae) is a species of mouse belonging to the family Muridae that is endemic to Papua New Guinea. It is one of the moss mice of New Guinea, placed in the genus Pseudohydromys in the subfamily Murinae and the tribe Hydromyini. K. M. Helgen and L. E. Helgen described it in 2009 in a taxonomic revision of the moss mice of New Guinea, published in the Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History, so it is a recently described species. The Mammal Diversity Database places it in the Australasian realm and records that it has not been evaluated for the IUCN Red List. Wikipedia gives only its family and its endemism, so further biology is not stated there.
