Monotypic. Distribution. Manus I, Papua New Guinea (natives claim Los Negros Is). Descriptive notes. Head-body 260 mm, tail 150 mm, ear 23-4 mm, hindfoot 43-2 mm. No specific data are available for body weight. The Manus Island Spiny Rat is large and heavily built, with long, harsh, and spiny pelage.

Feet are white, with dark pigment speckling caused by short dark hairs thinly covering dorsal part. Claws are robust and ivory. Undersurface offeet has irregular gray patches. Ears are white at bases, grayer toward ends; vibrissae are fairly long and black. Tail is only ¢.58% of head-body length, dark gray throughout with paler mottling at very base, and covered with short bristly hair.
