Harenna mouse

The Harenna mouse, Mus harennensis, is a species of mouse in the subgenus Nannomys found in the Harenna Forest of Bale Mountains National Park in southern Ethiopia. It was described as new to science in 2022 by Krásová, Mikula, Lavrenchenko, Šumbera, Meheretu and Bryja in the journal Organisms Diversity and Evolution, in a paper whose title says the species confirms the biogeographical uniqueness of the isolated forests of southern Ethiopia. The holotype came from the upper belt of the Harenna forest at about 2760 metres above sea level. The Mammal Diversity Database places the species in the family Muridae, subfamily Murinae and tribe Murini, records it as living and restricted to Ethiopia, and gives its IUCN Red List status as Vulnerable.
