The Ethiopian mylomys (Mylomys rex) is a species of rodent in the family Muridae that is found only in Ethiopia. It belongs to the genus Mylomys in the subfamily Murinae and the tribe Arvicanthini. O. Thomas described it in 1906 under the name Arvicanthis rex. It is also known as the Ethiopian three-toed grass rat, the Ethiopian groove-toothed rat and the king mylomys. The Mammal Diversity Database places it in the Afrotropical realm and records that it has not been evaluated for the IUCN Red List. Wikipedia gives only the family and the Ethiopian range, so little else is stated about its biology.
