Togo mouse

The Togo mouse (Leimacomys buettneri), also known as Büttner's African forest mouse or the groove-toothed forest mouse, is a unique muroid rodent known from only two specimens taken near Bismarckburg, close to Yege in Togo, in 1890. Its genus holds no other species. The Wikipedia article that serves as this entry's source gives a head and body length of 118 millimetres and a tail of 37 millimetres, unusually short for the body, and presumes from the skull that the animal eats insects. Its subfamily placement has shifted between authorities, and the IUCN lists it as data deficient; the article notes it is on the Re:wild list of the 25 most wanted lost species, because later surveys have not recovered it.
