Ruschi's Rat

Ruschi's Rat (erroneously Rushi's Rat), Abrawayaomys ruschii, is a rodent species found in Argentina and Brazil. Some cranial features suggest it may be an archaic relative of the Thomas's Parmo mouse (Thomasomys).^[2] The upper parts are greyish yellow with a darker head and yellowish-white underparts.^[2] Fine hairs are mixed with flattened and grooved spines that are most numerous on the back.^[2]
