The noble mouse-like hamster or the noble calomyscus,[1][2] (Calomyscus grandis) is a species of mouse-like hamster from Iran.
It is the largest species of Calomyscus and was initially described as a subspecies of Calomyscus bailwardi.
[3] The animal is found in the region near Tehran and is identifiable based on its large size (74–91 mm) and soft, buffy, brown dorsal pelage.
[3] The American Society of Mammalogists as well as Musser and Carleton[2] recognize C. grandis as a distinct species.
