Ansorge's Brush-furred Rat
Lophuromys ansorgei
Ansorge's brush-furred rat (Lophuromys ansorgei) is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It was identified in 1896 by de Winton as L. ansorgei. However, it was widely regarded as L. sicapusi until 2000, when Walter Verheyen, Theo Dierckx, and Jan Hulselmans published a study to the Bulletin of the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences describing it as a distinct species.
