The Ashaninka oldfield mouse (Thomasomys onkiro) is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae.[2] It is known only from a single locality (which includes Otishi National Park) in the Cordillera Oriental of the southern Peruvian Andes, in montane forest at an elevation of 3350 m.[1] It has terrestrial habits.[1] The common name refers to the Asháninka, the largest indigenous group of the Peruvian Amazon.
