Distribution: Recorded only from Florida Isl in the Solomon Arch. ( Flannery and Wickler, 1990).

Conservation: IUCN – Vulnerable.

Discussion: Originally described as a Mus , the species was transferred to Uromys (Rümmler, 1938; Tate, 1951), but then correctly placed in Solomys by Troughton (1936). Holotype of S. salamonis is an adult male and was originally preserved in alcohol with the skull extracted, but the body has been lost and only the skull now represents the species (Flannery, 1995 b).
