The Yemeni mouse (Ochromyscus yemeni) is a species of rodent in the family Muridae.[3][4] It is found in Saudi Arabia and Yemen.[3] It is the only modern member of the tribe Praomyini to be found outside of Africa.[5]
It was initially described as a subspecies of Myomys fumatus in its 1953 description by Colin Campbell Sanborn and Harry Hoogstraal.[2]
Some parasites found on this species include the mite Laelaps nuttalli.[6] and the flea Xenopsylla cheopis.[2]
