Stump-tailed porcupine
(Redirected from Echinoprocta)
Template:Short description Template:Speciesbox
The stump-tailed porcupine (Coendou rufescens) is a species of rodent in the family Erethizontidae.[1] It is found mainly in Colombia, with a few records from Ecuador.
This species was formerly sometimes assigned to Echinoprocta,[1] a genus no longer recognized since genetic studies showed it to nest within Coendou.[2] Its closest relative is the Andean porcupine (Coendou quichua).[2]
