The Hispaniolan edible rat (Brotomys voratus) is an extinct species of rodent in the family Echimyidae.[2] It was found in the Dominican Republic and Haiti. Its natural habitat was subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests.
This species is known from a single report from Gonzalo Fernandez de Oviedo y Valdez, who documented an animal called the mohuy, similar to living spiny rats.
