SPECIES Oligoryzomys victus
| Author: | Thomas, 1898. | | Citation: | Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 7, 1: 178. | | Common Name: | St. Vincent Colilargo | | Type Locality: | Lesser Antilles, Saint Vincent. | | Distribution: | Known only from the type locality. | | Status: | IUCN – Endangered. | | Comments: | Earlier classifications listed O. victus as an Oryzomys of uncertain affinity (Ellerman, 1941; Goldman, 1918), and Hall and Kelson (1959) erroneously placed it with their "tectus group" (= Oecomys). Thomas (1898a), and later Ray (1962), emphasized its alliance with species of Oligoryzomys. Known only by the holotype; presumably extinct (see Ray, 1962). |
