Trinomys Gratiosus
''Trinomys gratiosus'' is a species in the mainly South American family Echimyidae, the spiny rats; it occurs in southeast Brazil from the south bank of the River Doce, Espirito Sante, southward to Teresopolis, Rio de Janeiro. Taxonomy Recently published studies suggest that the taxonomy of the genus ''Trinomys'' as currently described is not yet stable and that the genus might well be split. Some evidence suggests that the lineage of the South American spiny rats is older than might have been expected and in spite of morphological resemblance, the populations have diverged widely. Status In 2008 the IUCN Red List rated ''Trinomys gratiosus'' as Least Concern (''LC''); its population is apparently large, it does not seem to be declining fast enough for listing in a threatened category, and the habitat is not under obvious threat. Common name The species does not occur and is not widely known in Anglophone regions, so the idea of popular English names raises problems. For examp ...

Trinomys Yonenagae
Yonenaga's Atlantic spiny-rat (''Trinomys yonenagae'') or torch-tail spiny rat is a spiny rat species endemic to Brazil. Locally, it is known as ''rabo de facho''. Named for Yatiyo Yonenaga-Yassuda, a cytogenetics researcher, it is considered an endangered species due to its highly restricted distribution and ongoing habitat loss. Genetic evidence shows that it diverged from its closest living relative, the hairy Atlantic spiny rat, around 8.5 million years ago, during the Late Miocene. Description This is a comparatively small spiny rat, with an average head and body length of and a tail that averages long. It has large hind feet which, together with the long tail, are likely related to the fact that it mainly moves by hopping. The ears are also unusually large, as are the bony structures surrounding the inner ear. The fur is near-white on the underparts, but is otherwise grey in infants, changing to a richer brown colour as the animal reaches adulthood. Despite the name, ...
