Nesomys narindaensis
''Nesomys narindaensis'' is an extinct rodent that lived in northwestern Madagascar. It is known from subfossil skull bones and isolated molars found in several sites during field work that started in 2001. First described in 2010, it is placed in the genus ''Nesomys'' together with three smaller living species, which may differ in some details of molar morphology. The presence of ''N. narindaensis'', a rare element in the local rodent fauna, suggests that the region was previously more humid.
