The Guinean grass rat, Arvicanthis rufinus, is a rodent in the family Muridae. It was first named by Temminck in 1853. It is recorded from Benin, Ghana and Togo, and it may also occur in Cameroon, the Central African Republic, Ivory Coast, Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, where its presence is not confirmed. Its natural habitats are moist savanna, subtropical or tropical dry and moist shrubland, and it also lives in arable land, pastureland and urban areas, which shows that it tolerates human-altered ground. The International Union for Conservation of Nature lists it as Least Concern. The source article is a short stub, so its diet, size, lifespan and behaviour are not described here.
