The Yamdena mosaic-tailed rat (Melomys cooperae) is a species of rat belonging to the family Muridae. It was first described in 1995 from specimens found on Yamdena Island in Indonesia.[2] No other examples of this species have been found; as a result very little is known about it. IUCN lists it as Data Deficient.[1]
