The striped bush squirrel, Paraxerus flavovittis, is a rodent in the family Sciuridae that is found in Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique and Tanzania in eastern and southeastern Africa. Its natural habitats are moist savanna and plantations. Wilhelm Peters described the species in 1852, and it belongs to the genus Paraxerus. The infobox of its English Wikipedia article gives an International Union for Conservation of Nature rating of Least Concern from the 2016 assessment. The article is a short stub that states the family, the four countries and the habitat, and it gives no description of the animal itself.
