Walter Verheyen's African dormouse[3] (Graphiurus walterverheyeni) is a monotypic[3] species of rodent in the family Gliridae. From the Central Congolian lowland forests[1] ecoregion in the central Congo Basin, it has been found in west-central Democratic Republic of the Congo, in the vicinity of the Lukenie River and of Wafania, near the left bank of the Luilaka River.[3] Although not found in immediate association, Lorraine's dormouse (Graphiurus lorraineus) and the short-eared African dormouse (Graphiurus surdus) are understood to be "broadly sympatric".[2] Most closely resembling Jentink's dormouse (Graphiurus crassicaudatus), it differs from this species both in its much smaller size and in its relative proportions.[2] On the IUCN Red List, its conservation status has been assessed as Data Deficient.[1]
