Verreaux's mouse, Myomyscus verreauxii, also called Verreaux's white-footed rat, is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is the only species in the genus Myomyscus. Other species that were previously assigned to Myomyscus are now considered to belong to the genera Mastomys, Ochromyscus, Praomys and Stenocephalemys, so the genus has shrunk to this single species. Verreaux's mouse is found only in South Africa, where its natural habitats are temperate forests and Mediterranean-type shrubby vegetation. The Wikipedia article is short and cites the account of the superfamily Muroidea in Mammal Species of the World by Musser and Carleton.
