The Caatinga laucha (Calomys expulsus) is a species in the genus Calomys. It is currently classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. Typically found in diverse terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.

This chemoheterotroph decomposes dissolved organic matter in lacustrine environments and may degrade aromatic compounds.
