The central Sulawesi echiothrix (Echiothrix centrosa) is a species of rodent in the family Muridae, found only on Sulawesi in Indonesia. It belongs to the genus Echiothrix, the Sulawesi spiny rats. It was named by Miller and Hollister in 1921 in a paper describing sixteen new murine rodents from Celebes, the older name for Sulawesi. The IUCN assessment relayed through GBIF lists it as Vulnerable. The Wikipedia article is a short stub that gives no description of its appearance, habitat, diet or breeding, so this entry sticks to its classification, authority, island and assessed status.
