The Hispaniolan hutia (Plagiodontia aedium) (Spanish: jutía, Haitian Creole: zagoutí) is a hutia species endemic to the island of Hispaniola (split between Haiti and the Dominican Republic). It is the only confirmed extant species of the genus Plagiodontia, and the only extant species of hutia on Hispaniola; other species are either extinct or being debatedly catalogued as P. aedium subspecies. The name Plagiodontia means "oblique tooth" in Greek, referring to its dentition. Along with the often sympatric Hispaniolan solenodon (Solenodon paradoxus), it is one of two extant native mammals on Hispaniola.
