Poncelet's giant rat, also called Poncelet's naked-tailed rat, Solomys ponceleti, is a rodent in the family Muridae. Its source article says it is found on Bougainville Island, part of Papua New Guinea, and on nearby Choiseul Island in the Solomon Islands, so its known range is a pair of neighbouring islands in two countries. The article is a short stub that gives the classification, the common names and the range but nothing on size, habitat, diet, breeding or conservation standing, and none of those is asserted here.
