Mo's spiny rat

Mammals

Mo's spiny rat, Maxomys moi, is a rodent in the family Muridae, the large family of true mice and rats, placed in the genus Maxomys. English Wikipedia says it is found in Laos and Vietnam, so its recorded range lies in mainland Southeast Asia. The Global Biodiversity Information Facility accepts the name Maxomys moi (Robinson and Kloss, 1922) as a species of the order Rodentia in the class Mammalia, which means it was first described by Herbert Christopher Robinson and a co-author named Kloss in 1922 and later moved to its present genus, as the brackets around the authority indicate. The short Wikipedia article cites Musser and Carleton in Mammal Species of the World as its reference.
