). It differs from both in its peppered brown back and long guard hairs. It is similar in morphology to the Isabel Island Giant Rat, but has shorter hindfeet and less reddish back;it also has a coarser pelage, and different cranial features and heavier molars. Upperparts are yellowish brown, cinnamon buff on sides, and underparts are pinkish buff. Tail is naked, and similar to that of other

) are abundant. On Choiseul this species is more commonly encountered in lowland rainforests; most records were made on village/forest interface in southern Choiseul. In 2012, local inhabitants on Choiseul reported seeing this rat while clearing vegetation for garden on the opposite side of the Kolombangara River.
