(Figs. 26 A, 27)
Type material. Holotype (NHM): male, “ INDONESIA: SULAWESI UTARA, Dumoga-Bone N. P. February 1985.”, “Rothamsted light trap, site 1, 200 m. H. Barlow”, “R. Ent. Soc. Lond. PROJECT WALLACE B. M. 1985- 10”.
Description. Male. Body (Fig. 26 A) oval, strongly convex dorsally, shiny, closely covered with silver setae. Coloration of body light brown, but antennae and mouthparts paler.
Head relatively large, flat dorsally, finely punctate, straight front margin of clypeus. Eyes large, prominent; the distance between eyes about 2.5 times as long as the maximum diameter of an eye. Antennae long and slender, reaching about proximal 1/3 of elytra. Pronotum densely punctate, depressed in lateral parts; anterior, posterior and lateral margins gently arcuate; antero- and postero-lateral corners obtuse; PW/PL 2.05. Scutellar shield finely punctate, equilaterally triangular. Elytra oval, widest at the middle, evenly arcuate in lateral margins, punctate as on pronotum; humeral parts slightly projecting dorso-laterally; apices right-angled; EL/EW 1.30; EL/PL 3.76; EW/ PW 1.41; TL/EW 1.65. Legs relatively long and slender.
Caudal margin of sternite VII (Fig. 27 A) gently arcuate. Tergite VIII (Fig. 27 B) moderately sclerotized, trapezoidal, bearing short spines along caudal margin, with a pair of long and slender apodemes. Tergite IX (Fig. 27 C) lightly sclerotized, trapezoidal, projecting antero-mesally in postero-lateral corners, with a pair of long and slender apodemes. Sternite IX (Fig. 27 E) well sclerotized, very long U-shaped, with some keels in apical parts, pointed at apices. Tegmen (Fig. 27 D) well sclerotized, Y-shaped, bifid in apical 1/2, pointed at apices. Penis (Fig. 27 F) long, well sclerotized, about 1.3 times as long as tegmen; pala short, widened in basal part; parameroids consisting of a long plate, subparallel-sided from base to apical part, rounded at apex, punctate in apical part; trigonium relatively short and slender, protruding ventro-anteriorly from basal 1/2 to 1/4.
Female. Unknown.
Measurements. Male (n = 1): TL 1.81 mm; PW 0.78 mm; PL 0.38 mm; EL 1.43 mm; EW 1.10 mm.
Distribution. Indonesia (Sulawesi Isl.).
Remarks. This species is easily distinguishable from the other species of this genus by the shape of the penis in which the parameroid is long and subparallel-sided and the trigonium is long and slender.
Etymology. The species is named after Alfred Russel Wallace (1823–1913) for his great contribution to the zoogeography of the Oriental Region.

Paramelomys levipes

description: Paramelomys levipes (Thomas 1897)
[Uromys] levipes Thomas 1897, Ann. Mus. Civ. Stor. Nat. Genova, 18: 617.
Type Locality: New Guinea, Papua New Guinea, Central Province, Sogeri Plateau, Haveri, 700 m (additional information provided by Laurie and Hill, 1954:121, and Menzies, 1989).
Vernacular Names: Papuan Lowland Paramelomys.
Distribution: Papua New Guinea, S Central Province; the only specimens we have seen are from the Sogeri Plateau and Astrolabe Range near Port Moresby, below about 700 m. Leary and Seri (1997) reported two examples at Omo (06°58'41" S 144°18'15" E), 170 m in the Kikori River Basin in S Papua New Guinea. Menzies (1996:415) gave the range as "Lowlands of eastern New Guinea, probably not over 1200 m. Lack of specimens prevents defining precise distribution.".
Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc) as Melomys levipes.
Discussion: A lectotype was designated by Menzies (1989), but Rümmler (1938) had already indicated which of Thomas' two cotypes should be considered the holotype. Our examination of series indicated that true P. levipes is documented by the holotype and Tate's (1951:291) series from Baruari and Itiki in the Astrolabe Range (other material Tate listed as P. levipes are examples of either P. platyops or P. mollis). All other records usually associated with P. levipes (Laurie and Hill, 1954; Tate, 1951) represent either Mammelomys lanosus and M. rattoides or Paramelomys lorentzii and P. mollis. In morphology and altitudinal distribution, P. levipes is morphologically very similar to P. naso from SW lowlands of Prov. of Papua (= Irian Jaya) and may represent the SE Papuan New Guinea relative of that species. A skull only from New Britain (AMNH 194397) is cranially and dentally similar to P. levipes, but has slightly wider molars. Flannery (1995 b) also examined that specimen and referred it to P. levipes. Neither Flannery nor we are sure about this identification; better material and a larger series are needed to determine actual identity of the skull.

Paramelomys lorentzii

description: Paramelomys lorentzii (Jentink 1908)
[Paramelomys] lorentzii (Jentink 1908), Nova Guinea, 9: 3.
Type Locality: New Guinea, Prov. of Papua (= Irian Jaya), Lorentz River, Resi Camp, 900 m.
Vernacular Names: Lorentz's Paramelomys.
Distribution: New Guinea; specimens are from lowlands along the south side of Central Cordillera, from Mimika River in SW Prov. of Papua (= Irian Jaya) to middle altitudes and lowlands of the upper and middle Fly River; sea level to 780 m (based on specimens examined in AMNH and BMNH); limits unknown.
Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc) as Melomys lorentzii.
Discussion: Usually listed as a subspecies of Melomys levipes [= Peramelomys lorentzii] (Laurie and Hill, 1954; Tate, 1951), lorentzii is a distinct species morphologically related to P. moncktoni (Menzies, 1996, and our observations). P. lorentzii and P. moncktoni have not yet been recorded as sympatric, but they both occur along the Fly River in S Papua New Guinea. Paramelomys lorentzii was collected by members of the Archbold 1936-1937 Expedition along the upper Fly River and downriver to Lake Daviumbu in the middle Fly River; P. moncktoni was collected opposite Sturt Isl on the lower Fly River, about 115 direct air miles (185 km) southeast of Lake Daviumbu.

Paramelomys mollis

description: Paramelomys mollis (Thomas 1913)
[Paramelomys] mollis (Thomas 1913), Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 8, 12: 210.
Type Locality: New Guinea, Prov. of Papua (= Irian Jaya), Nassau Range, upper Utakwa River, S slope Mount Carstenz, Camp Padang, 6c, 5500 ft (1676 m).
Vernacular Names: Montane Soft-furred Paramelomys.
Synonyms: Paramelomys arfakianus (Rümmler 1935); Paramelomys clarae (Rümmler 1935); Paramelomys meeki (Rümmler 1935); Paramelomys stevensi (Rümmler 1935); Paramelomys weylandi (Rümmler 1935).
Distribution: New Guinea; scattered in montane forest throughout Central Cordillera from Arfak Mtns in Vogelkop and Weyland Range of Prov. of Papua (= Irian Jaya) to Mt Dayman at end of the Owen Stanley Range in extreme E Papua New Guinea; above 1200 m to 2500 m or more; not recorded from N coastal ranges or the Huon Peninsula (Flannery, 1995a; Menzies, 1996; and specimens we studied).
Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc) as Melomys mollis.
Discussion: Specimens representing P. mollis have been identified as P. levipes in the literature (usually as Melomys levipes), and the synonyms listed here have also been associated with that species. However, judged by Musser’s study of specimens in AMNH and BMNH, P. mollis is a distinct species tied to montane forest formations and differs from P. levipes in habitat and morphology. Specimens from W Prov. of Papua (= Irian Jaya) are more darkly pigmented than those from E Papua New Guinea, but series from Papua New Guinea Central and Eastern highlands bridge this chromatic gap. Menzies’s (1996:416) concept of the species is much the same as ours (Musser and Carleton, 1993) and he noted, "As this rat has a wide altitudinal range... and occurs on discontinuous mountain ranges, some geographical variation is to be expected.".

Paramelomys moncktoni

description: Paramelomys moncktoni (Thomas 1904)
[Crossomys] moncktoni Thomas 1904, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 7, 14: 399.
Type Locality: Papua New Guinea, Northern Province, NE coast, 8°30'S, 148°20'E (Kumusi River).
Vernacular Names: Monckton's Paramelomys.
Synonyms: Paramelomys sturti (Tate 1951).
Distribution: Papua New Guinea; reliable records are from coastal plains and foothills (sea level to 1400 m) of SE Papua New Guinea, from Wewak on the NE coast eastward to S lowlands where westernmost record is from Sturt Isl camp on the lower Fly River (from our study of specimens, and Menzies, 1996); also on Sideia Isl, just off the E coast near Milne Bay. Flannery (1995 b) recorded a specimen from Yapen Isl in NW Prov. of Papua (= Irian Jaya) and mapped two localities on the mainland of SW Prov. of Papua (= Irian Jaya) (Flannery, 1995 a); these should be reexamined to determine if the former is a P. platyops and the latter P. lorentzii, or if indeed they are P. moncktoni.
Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc) as Melomys moncktoni.
Discussion: Horizontal and altitudinal distributions of this species have been misunderstood due to incorrect identifications of specimens. Paramelomys moncktoni was thought to have a primarily southern distribution from Prov. of Papua (= Irian Jaya) to Papua New Guinea, and to extend up into moss forest (see map and discussion in Flannery, 1990 b:225), but all samples from moss forest represent other species. Examples of P. moncktoni come only from the restricted range described above (based upon series in AMNH and BMNH; also see Menzies, 1996).
The forms intermedius and shawi are usually associated with P. moncktoni (Flannery, 1990 b; Laurie and Hill, 1954; Tate, 1951, under Melomys), but the holotype of shawi is a P. rubex and the type series of intermedius belongs to P. platyops (Musser’s study of specimens and Menzies, 1996). Musser and Carleton (1993) incorrectly allocated sturti to P. lorentzii, and Menzies (1996) correctly reassociated it with P. moncktoni. Possibly the E New Guinea ecological and phylogenetic equivalent of the SW New Guinea P. lorentzii.

description: Paramelomys naso (Thomas 1911)
[Paramelomys] naso (Thomas 1911), Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 8, 7: 386.
Type Locality: New Guinea; SW Prov. of Papua (= Irian Jaya), foothills of Nassau Range, Whitewater Camp on the Kafari (=Kaparé) River (see Laurie and Hill, 1954:121).
Vernacular Names: Long-nosed Paramelomys.
Distribution: New Guinea; lowlands of SW Prov. of Papua (= Irian Jaya) and Weyland Range, limits unknown on mainland; also on Wokam Isl in the Aru Isl Group (Menzies, 1995; Flannery, 1995 b, identified the specimen from Wokam as P. lorentzii).
Discussion: Treated as a synonym of Melomys levipes lorentzii by Rümmler (1938) and as a subspecies of M. levipes by Tate (1951) and Laurie and Hill (1954). Musser and Carleton (1993) incorrectly included naso in P. lorentzii but the two are sympatric (Menzies, 1996). Morphologically and probably phylogenetically most closely related to P. levipes in the lowlands of SE Papua New Guinea. An adult from the Weyland Range (AMNH 101957) collected at 5000 ft (1524 m), much higher than any other record, has all the characteristics of P. naso (including one hair per tail scale); it was collected along with examples of montane P. mollis and P. rubex.

Synonyms: Paramelomys fuscus (Rümmler 1935); Paramelomys intermedius (Rümmler 1935); Paramelomys jobiensis (Rümmler 1935); Paramelomys mamberanus (Sody 1937).
Distribution: New Guinea, throughout lowlands and mid-mountain altitudes on the mainland except seasonally dry savanna forests of the southern lowlands; altitudinal range from sea level to 1500 m. Also occurs on islands of Yapen and Biak in Prov. of Papua (= Irian Jaya); New Britain in the Bismarck Arch.; and the islands of Normanby, Fergusson, and Goodenough in the D'Entrecasteaux Arch. (Flannery, 1995 a; Menzies, 1996; specimens in AMNH).
Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc) as Melomys platyops.
Discussion: This species was thought to range primarily throughout N New Guinea (see map in Flannery, 1990 b:224) but our reidentification of museum specimens and holotypes, along with Menzies’s revision (1996) reveals otherwise. The form intermedius was originally described as a subspecies of Melomys moncktoni (see Rümmler, 1938), but members of type series from Utakwa River (type locality) in SW Prov. of Papua (= Irian Jaya) have only one hair per scale (all P. moncktoni have three hairs per scale), as does P. platyops, and their cranial, dental, and other external traits are also characteristic of P. platyops, not P. moncktoni. Geographic variation in body size exists among samples of P. platyops, especially lowland versus highland samples (Menzies, 1996, and our observations) and mainland versus island populations (Flannery, 1995 b), and a careful systematic revision of the species is required to assess its significance. Leary and Seri (1997) reported specimens and habitat information in the Kikori River Basin of S Papua New Guinea.

Type Locality: New Guinea, Prov. of Papua (= Irian Jaya), Mamberano River, Doormanpad-bivak, 1410 m.
Vernacular Names: Mountain Paramelomys.
Synonyms: Paramelomys alleni (Rümmler 1935); Paramelomys arfakiensis (Rümmler 1935); Paramelomys clarus (Rümmler 1935); Paramelomys pohlei (Rümmler 1935); Paramelomys rutilus (Rümmler 1935); Paramelomys shawi (Tate and Archbold 1935); Paramelomys stresemanni (Rümmler 1935); Paramelomys tafa (Tate and Archbold 1935).
Distribution: New Guinea; montane forests in the Central Cordillera from the Arfak Mtns on the Vogelkop of W Prov. of Papua (= Irian Jaya) to Mt Dayman at the end of the Owen Stanley Range in E Papua New Guinea; also in the N coastal Torricelli Mtns and Huon Peninsula; altitudinal range, 900-3000 m (specimens we examined; Menzies, 1996; see map in Flannery, 1995 a).
Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc) as Melomys rubex.
Discussion: The many names applied to P. rubex reflect morphological variation among samples that is concordant with interrupted highland distributions (Menzies, 1996, and our study of specimens in various museums). Menzies (1996) revised the species and earlier (Menzies, 1974) commented on the status of some names associated with P. rubex.

description: Cooking oil is largely used in preparing food. Unfortunately, untreated cooking oil waste is disposed improperly. Hence, this research study carried out to determine cafeterias operators in proper waste cooking oil management in one of the government university. Quantitative approach with questionnaire method applied, with targeting 20 out of 32 cafeterias operators in sampling size due to willingly in cooperation. Two categorized are formatted in collecting the information, namely respondent’s demographic profile and method disposal of waste cooking oil. Result indicate majority cafeterias operators choose to thrown into sink without having any treatment, continue by thrown with normal waste which having primary treatment, and only minority are choose to sell the waste cooking oil to the relevant parties for further action. As conclusion, majority cafeterias operators are no following the guidelines in manage the waste cooking oil and no concerned about the environment with taking an easy way by dispose the cooking waste into sink and let it flow into drain. Apart from responsibility towards the environment by cafeterias operators, the university should also take action through having some activities like campaign and distributing flyers on the awareness to environment.

description: Cryomyces antarcticus , a melanized cryptoendolithic fungus endemic to Antarctica, can tolerate environmental conditions as severe as those in space. Particularly, its ability to withstand ionizing radiation has been attributed to the presence of thick and highly melanized cell walls, which—according to a previous investigation—may contain both 1,8‐dihydroxynaphthalene (DHN) and L‐3,4 dihydroxyphenylalanine (L‐DOPA) melanin. The genes putatively involved in the synthesis of DHN melanin were identified in the genome of C. antarcticus. Most important is capks1 encoding a non‐reducing polyketide synthase (PKS) and being the ortholog of the functionally characterized kppks1 from the rock‐inhabiting fungus Knufia petricola . The co‐expression of CaPKS1 or KpPKS1 with a 4′‐phosphopantetheinyl transferase in Saccharomyces cerevisiae resulted in the formation of a yellowish pigment, suggesting that CaPKS1 is the enzyme providing the precursor for DHN melanin. To dissect the composition and function of the melanin layer in the outer cell wall of C. antarcticus , non‐melanized mutants were generated by CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated genome editing. Notwithstanding its slow growth (up to months), three independent non‐melanized Δ capks1 mutants were obtained. The mutants exhibited growth similar to the wild type and a light pinkish pigmentation, which is presumably due to carotenoids. Interestingly, visible light had an adverse effect on growth of both melanized wild‐type and non‐melanized Δ capks1 strains. Further evidence that light can pass the melanized cell walls derives from a mutant expressing a H2B‐GFP fusion protein, which can be detected by fluorescence microscopy. In conclusion, the study reports on the first genetic manipulation of C. antarcticus , resulting in non‐melanized mutants and demonstrating that the melanin is rather of the DHN type. These mutants will allow to elucidate the relevance of melanization for surviving extreme conditions found in the natural habitat as well as in space.
