Cape York Mosaic-tailed Rat
Melomys capensis
French: Mélomys de Cape York / German: Kap-York-Mosaikschwanzratte / Spanish: Rata de cola moteada de York
Other common names: Cape York Melomys
Taxonomy. Melomys cervinipes capensis Tate, 1951,
“upper Nesbit River, Rocky Scrub (east of Coen) [Queensland, Australia], 1500 feet [= 457 m].”
Melomys capensis, because it isvery similar to M. cervinipes, was formerly considered a subspecies of latter, but genetic studies by P. R. Baverstock and colleagues in 1980 justified its elevation to species rank. J. I. Menzies in 1996 included it in the M. cer vinipes division (cervinipes, capensis, burtoni, [rigicola, lutillus). 1. M. Bryant and coworkers in 2011 confirmed that M. capensis is a valid species and thatits sisteris M. rubicola rather than M. cervinipes; a similar result was obtained also by P. H. Fabre’s team in 2017. Monotypic.
Distribution. Cape York Peninsula, Queensland, Australia, including some
offshore islands.
Descriptive notes. Head-body 1 19-162 mm, tail 129-172, ear 16 mm, hindfeet 30-5 mm; weight 45-116 g. This relatively small Melomys is characterized by dull rufous-
brown dorsal pelage and a pure white ventral one; it has broad feet. Tail is longer (129%) than head-body length.
Habitat. Forest—grassland ecotone and rainforest areas.
Food and Feeding. Cape York Mosaic-tailed Rats feed on fallen seeds.
Breeding. Reproduction may occur throughout year, and females usually give birth to two young.
Activity patterns. The Cape York Mosaic-tailed Rat is a nocturnal and scansorial species, resting in tree hollows during day.
Movements, Home range and Social organization. No information.
Status and Conservation. Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List. The Cape York Mosaic-tailed Rat is common in suitable habitat. Such habitat, however, is not particularly frequent within its range.

Known distribution. Brazil (Alagoas, Amapá, Bahia, Ceará, Goiás, Maranhão, Mato Grosso, Minas Gerais, Pará, Paraíba, Pernambuco, Piauí, Rio Grande do Norte, São Paulo, Sergipe) and Paraguay (Hurd 1978: 61). Type locality: “Patrie inconnue [unknown locality]” (Lepeletier 1841: 179).
Material examined. Brazil: Pará: Conceição do Araguaia, VII.1959, M. Alvarenga (1 ♀), Santarém, VII.1957, M. Silva (1 ♀), Santarém, IX.1955, M. Alvarenga (1 ♀), X.1955, M. Alvarenga (1 ♀).
Notes. Females of this species can be easily separated from all other species of subgenus Neoxylocopa by the combination of yellow pubescence on the mesosoma and the massive body size, with overall body length in the specimens examined between 21.8 and 29.6 mm. In the Amazon basin, X. (N.) cearensis is the only species whose females are similar in coloration to those of X. (N.) grisescens, but females of X. (N.) cearensis are much smaller, with overall body length between 16.4 and 17.6 mm.

(N.) carbonaria (which has overall body length of 17.0 to 18.6 mm).

Known distribution. Brazil (Amazonas, Pará), Colombia (Moure 2003: 71). Type locality: “Manaus, AM-BRASIL” (Moure 2003: 72).
Material examined. Brazil: Amazonas: Manaus, VIII.1959 (5 ♀), IX.1959 (2 ♀), X.1959, C. Elias (14 ♀), XI.1959, C. Elias (4 ♀); Pará: Santarém, VIII.1919, E. M. Klages (1 ♀), VI.1955, M.

Notes. Specimens of this species in USNM were tentatively identified by Paul D. Hurd as X. (N.) brasilianorum (Linnaeus), a similarly-colored species which is otherwise known from localities in southern Brazil which are outside the Amazon basin (Hurd 1978; Moure 2003). The brief discussion and reports of X. (N.) submordax Cockerell from the Amazon basin by Moure and Camargo (1988) refer instead to this species (Moure 2003). The true X. (N.) submordax was placed in synonymy with X. (N.) transitoria Pérez by Moure (2003); specimens of this latter species in USNM all have greenish-blue or bluish-violet wing iridescence and are from localities in northern South America and the Caribbean which are located outside the Amazon basin.

Gressitt’s Mosaic-tailed Rat
Paramelomys gressitti
French: Mélomys de Gressitt / German: Gressitt-Mosaikschwanzratte / Spanish: Rata de cola moteada de Gressitt
Other common names: Gressit's Paramelomys
Taxonomy. Paramelomys gressitti Menzies, 1996,
near summit of Mount Kaindi, 2300 m, Wau region, Morobe province, Papua New Guinea.
The first comprehensive revision of all the species attributed to Melomys led J. I. Menzies in 1996 to resurrect the genus Paramelomys and to redefine its morphologicallimits and species content. Menzies created P. gressitti as a new species belonging to a group displaying morphological similarities and including also P. lorentzii and P. moncktoni. Monotypic Distribution. E New Guinea. Descriptive notes. Head-body 135-162 mm, hindfoot 30-34 mm; no specific data are available for body weight. Gressitt’s Mosaic-tailed Rat is a medium-sized Paramelomys with a soft, thick and woolly pelage, a long narrow foot, and a tail with three hairs per scale. It exhibits a medium-sepia dorsal pelage and a gray-buff ventral one. Tail is slightly shorter (99%) than head-body length. The skull has a narrow zygomatic plate. Habitat. Moist tropical mountain forest between 2300 m and 2400 m. Food and Feeding. No information. Breeding. No information. Activity patterns. Gressitt’s Mosaic-tailed Rat is terrestrial. Movements, Home range and Social organization. No information. Status and Conservation. Classified as Endangered on The IUCN Red List owing to its small geographic range (less than 3500 km?*) and the destruction ofits habitat by mining and logging activities. The major threat to Gressitt’s Mosaic-tailed Rat is ongoing habitat degradation caused by nearby human populations; habitat on Mount Kandy has been destroyed by gold-miners and wood-cutters. Bibliography. Menzies (1996).

Papuan Lowland Mosaic-tailed Rat
Paramelomys levipes
French: Mélomys a pattes fines / German: Papua-Tiefland-Mosaikschwanzratte / Spanish: Rata de cola moteada de tierras bajas de Papua
Other common names: Long-nosed Mosaic-tailed Rat, Long-nosed Paramelomys, Papuan Lowland Paramelomys
Taxonomy. Uromys levipes Thomas, 1897,
Haveri, 700 m, Sogeri Plateau, Central Province, Papua New Guinea.
Paramelomys levipes was initially described in genus Uromys, and was later attributed to Melomys until revision of that genus in 1996 by J. I. Menzies, who finally placed it into Paramelomys. Menzies provided new diagnosesfor this species. In afirst phylogeny, P. Smissen and K. C. Rowe, in H. J. McLennan and colleagues’ 2017 study of Australasian rodents, found P. levipes as sister taxon of a clade constituted by P. rubex + P. platyops. Monotypic.
Distribution. E New Guinea on S side of Central Cordillera.
Descriptive notes. Head-body 124-162 mm,tail 112-140 mm, ear 16-20 mm, hindfoot 31-34 mm; weight 72-117 g. This medium-sized mouse is similar in all respects, exceptsize, to the Common Lowland Mosaic-tailed Rat (P. platyops) and the Mountain Mosaic-tailed Rat (P. rubex). It has a brownish-rufous dorsal pelage, browner anteriorly, more rufous on sides and rump, and a dull creamy-white ventral one. Tail, which has only one hair on scales and is bicolored black above and paler below,is slightly smaller than head-body length. Females bear two pairs of mammae.
Habitat. [.owland forest, swamp forest, and hill forest, from sea level to 1200 m.
Food and Feeding. One stomach was full of vegetable matter.
Breeding. The Papuan Lowland Mosaic-tailed Rat probably has a low reproductive rate, and its mean litter size is one.
Activity patterns. Papuan Lowland Mosaic-tailed Rats are terrestrial.
Movements, Home range and Social organization. No information.
Status and Conservation. Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List. The Papuan Lowland Mosaic-tailed Ratis poorly known, but it appears not to be subject to any major threats and it may be able to adapt to secondary environments.
