Ruschi's rat or Ruschi's spiny mouse (Abrawayaomys ruschii) is a rodent species found in Argentina and Brazil.[2] Some cranial features suggest it may be an archaic relative of the paramo Oldfield mouse (Thomasomys paramorum).[3] The upper parts are greyish yellow with a darker head and yellowish-white underparts. Fine hairs are mixed with flattened and grooved spines that are most numerous on the back.[3]
