Riama Island Melomys
Melomys howi
The Riama mosaic-tailed rat (Melomys howi), is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found only on the island of Riama in Indonesia, a small island to the west of Selaru in the Tanimbar Islands. Very little is known about this species but it is possible that it is also present on some of the other islands in this group.
