Mirza's western moss rat (Mirzamys louiseae) is a species of rodent endemic to Papua New Guinea.
The Telefomin cuscus is a critically endangered possum found on New Guinea.
Leptomys is a genus of rodent from New Guinea. It is considered part of the New Guinea Old Endemics, meaning it was part of the first wave of murine rodents to colonize the island.
Hydromys is a genus of semiaquatic rodents in the subfamily Murinae. Three species are endemic to New Guinea and nearby islands. The fourth species, the rakali, is also found on Australia. The most recently discovered member of this genus was described in 2005.
The long-footed water rat is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found in the mountains of southern Papua New Guinea. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry forest.
Ernst Mayr's water rat is a species of rodent in the family Muridae, named for evolutionary biologist Ernst Mayr. It is found in the Foja Mountains of Papua Province, Indonesia, and in the mountains of northeastern Papua New Guinea.
The highland brush mouse, also known as the Menzies' mouse, is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is endemic to Papua New Guinea, and is found in montane moss forests and in alpine zones over 2,000 m. It is the only species in the genus Abeomelomys, although it has been placed in Pogonomelomys in the past.
Pseudohydromys is a genus of rodent in the family Muridae endemic to New Guinea. It contains the following species:
The moss-forest rat is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found in Indonesia and Papua New Guinea.
The silky cuscus is a species of marsupial in the family Phalangeridae. It is found in Indonesia and Papua New Guinea.
The painted ringtail possum or moss-forest ringtail possum is a species of marsupial in the family Pseudocheiridae. It is found in Papua New Guinea.
The pygmy ringtail possum is a species of marsupial in the family Pseudocheiridae. It is found in West Papua, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea in montane forest regions. They are "widespread along the Central Cordillera" and live at elevations between 1,500 and 3,600 metres above sea level.”
German's one-toothed moss mouse is a species of rodent in the family Muridae which occurs in the mountains of southeastern New Guinea. It has only one molar and only one incisor in each jaw quadrant for a total of eight teeth, less than any other rodents except for its close relative, the one-toothed moss-mouse and the recently described Paucidentomys, which lacks molars entirely. It is known from only one specimen, an adult male which was caught at an altitude of 1300 m in the village of Munimun, Milne Bay Province, southeastern Papua New Guinea in August 1992. P. germani was first described in 2005 by biologist Kristofer Helgen and named after Pavel German, who caught the specimen. It was first described in the genus Mayermys, but this genus, which only included the two one-molared species, has since been synonymised under Pseudohydromys because of the close morphological resemblances among Mayermys and the other species now placed in Pseudohydromys. As a member of the Xeromys division within the subfamily Murinae, P. germani is related to the false water rat of Australia and southern New Guinea and to the three species of Leptomys, another New Guinean genus, and more distantly to other New Guinean and Australian rodents, including the water rat.
Seri's tree-kangaroo is a species of tree-kangaroo native and endemic to montane forests of west-central New Guinea. Seri's tree-kangaroo was originally considered to be a subspecies of Dendrolagus dorianus, but was elevated to species in 2005 by Groves.
The southern small-toothed moss mouse is a species of rodent in the family Muridae found on the slopes of Mount Bosavi, Papua New Guinea.
Mirza's eastern moss rat is a species of rodent endemic to New Guinea.
Laurie’s moss mouse is a species of mouse belonging to the family Muridae that is endemic to Papua New Guinea. It was first described in 2009.
Woolley's moss mouse,, is a species of mouse endemic to Papua New Guinea. It was first described in 2009.
The white-bellied moss mouse,, is a species of mouse endemic to Papua New Guinea. It was first described in 2009. The type specimen was an adult male found between 800–850 m, in Southern Highlands Province of Papua New Guinea.
The southern groove toothed moss-mouse is a species of rodent in the family Muridae found in Southern Papua New Guinea. As opposed to M. richardsoni, argenteus sp can be differentiated most prominently by its gray-brown pelage.
