Paraleptomys is a genus of rodent from New Guinea. It is considered part of the New Guinea Old Endemics,[1] meaning it was part of the first wave of murine rodents to colonize the island. Members of the genus are similar to those in Leptomys but differ in that they do not have elongated hind feet or a third molar.[citation needed] Little is known of the two species' biology.
