Rattus jobiensis Riimmler, 1935. Z. Säugetierk., 10:116.
TYPE LOCALITY: New Guinea, Irian Jaya, Pulay Yapen (Japen Isl) in Teluk Cendrawasih (Geelvinck Bay).
DISTRIBUTION: New Guinea, Irian Jaya, recorded only from islands of Yapen, Owi, and Biak in Geelvinck Bay (see map in Taylor et al., 1982:262).
SYNONYMS: biakensis, owiensis.
