Hoogstraal's striped grass mouse

Hoogstraal's striped grass mouse, also called Hoogstraal's lemniscomys, has the scientific name Lemniscomys hoogstraali and is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is known only from the type specimen, which was collected in 1961 at Paloich, north of Niayok, in South Sudan. Its common name refers to its striped markings and to its natural habitat in moist savanna, and the species epithet honours the entomologist and parasitologist Dr. Harry Hoogstraal. It was described by Fritz Dieterlen in 1991, and the IUCN lists it as Data Deficient, which reflects how little is recorded about it beyond that single specimen. The source article says nothing further about its size, diet or behaviour, so this entry does not either.
