The Andean porcupine (Coendou quichua) is a species of rodent in the family Erethizontidae.[2] It is found in the Andes of Ecuador as well as from the Cordillera Oriental of northeastern Colombia near San Vicente de Chucurí.[1] This porcupine is little known, but is probably arboreal, nocturnal and solitary like its relatives.[1] The species is thought to be uncommon to rare and the population decreasing. It is threatened by deforestation, habitat fragmentation and agriculture.[1]

Although it is morphologically distinctive, it has sometimes been described as a subspecies of the bicolored-spined porcupine (C. bicolor).[2][3] However, genetic studies have shown it to be closest to the stump-tailed porcupine (C. rufescens).[4]
