Machangu's brush furred rat

Machangu's brush furred rat (Lophuromys machangui) is a species of rodent in the family Muridae and belongs to the genus Lophuromys, the brush-furred rats and mice. Its Wikipedia article says it has been recorded from Tanzania, Zambia, Malawi and Mozambique, so its known range is spread across four countries. The Global Biodiversity Information Facility name record treats Lophuromys machangui as an accepted species of the order Rodentia and credits its scientific description to W. Verheyen and colleagues in 2007. Its IUCN Red List category, as linked by that record, is Data Deficient, which means the information available was too limited to judge its extinction risk more firmly.
