O'Connell's spiny-rat (Proechimys oconnelli) is a species of rodent in the family Echimyidae.[2] It is endemic to Colombia.
Phylogeny
Morphological characters and mitochondrial cytochrome b DNA sequences showed that P. oconnelli belongs to the so-called semispinosus group of Proechimys species, and shares closer phylogenetic affinities with the other member of this clade: P. semispinosus.[3][4][5]
