Matthey's mouse

Mammals

Matthey's mouse (Mus mattheyi) is a rodent of the family Muridae in the genus Mus, found in West Africa. It was first described by Francis Petter (1923 to 2012) in 1969 and is named after Robert Matthey (1900 to 1982). It has been recorded in Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Mali, Senegal and Togo, and it possibly also occurs in Benin, Guinea and Guinea-Bissau. Its natural habitat is moist savanna. The Wikipedia article is brief and cites the Musser and Carleton 2005 survey in Mammal Species of the World, so it gives no body measurements, diet or population figures.
