Rosevear's striped grass mouse

Rosevear's striped grass mouse, also called Rosevear's lemniscomys (Lemniscomys roseveari), is a species of rodent in the family Muridae, the large family of Old World mice and rats. It is known from Zambia and possibly Angola, where its natural habitat is Cryptosepalum dry forest, a dry evergreen forest type of south central Africa. The species is considered threatened by loss of that habitat. The global biodiversity backbone published by GBIF accepts the name Lemniscomys roseveari, credited to Van der Straeten in 1980, and records its IUCN Red List category as Data Deficient, which means there is too little information to judge how close it is to extinction.
