The Sumatran spiny rat, Maxomys hylomyoides, is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found only on the island of Sumatra in Indonesia, which makes it an endemic of that one island rather than a species shared with the neighbouring Malay Peninsula or Borneo. The Wikipedia article on it is a short stub that gives its scientific name, its family and its restricted range, and cites the account of the superfamily Muroidea in Mammal Species of the World by Musser and Carleton as its reference. Nothing further about its habitat, diet or conservation status is stated there.
