Karoo four-striped grass rat

The Karoo four-striped grass rat, Rhabdomys intermedius, also called the Karoo Rhabdomys, is a rodent of the family Muridae in the tribe Arvicanthini and the genus Rhabdomys. R. C. Wroughton described it in 1905 as a form of Arvicanthis pumilio, Arvicanthis pumilio intermedius, from Deelfontein north of Richmond in the central Karoo of the Northern Cape Province, South Africa; the holotype is in the Natural History Museum in London. The Mammal Diversity Database treats it as a living species of the Afrotropical realm found in South Africa, split from Rhabdomys pumilio, and lists its IUCN Red List status as Least Concern.
