The red-bellied mosaic-tailed rat, Protochromys fellowsi, is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is the only species in the genus Protochromys, so the genus is monotypic. According to its English Wikipedia article it is found only in Papua New Guinea, which makes it endemic to that country. The article is a short stub and does not describe the animal's appearance, habitat, diet, behaviour or lifespan, so this entry states only its identity, its taxonomic placement and its known range. Further detail on its biology remains to be added from other sources.
