Woosnam's brush-furred rat

Woosnam's brush-furred rat (Lophuromys woosnami) is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found in Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda and Uganda, and its natural habitat includes mountain forest clearings and bamboo forests. It was described by Oldfield Thomas in 1906 in a paper on new mammals from Mount Ruwenzori, under the spelling Lophuromys Woosnami, from a holotype in the Natural History Museum in London collected in the Mubuku Valley on the eastern side of the Rwenzori range in Uganda. The Mammal Diversity Database places the species in the Afrotropical realm and in the subgenus Kivumys of the brush-furred mice, and records its IUCN Red List status as Least Concern.
