SPECIES Trinomys setosus

Author:Desmarest, 1817.
Citation:Nouv. Dict. Hist. Nat., Nouv. ed., 10: 59.
Common Name:Hairy Atlantic Spiny-rat
Type Locality:Unknown, but probably Brazil, Bahia (Moojen, 1948:386).
Distribution:E Brazil (states of Espírito Santo and Minas Gerais).
Status:IUCN – Lower Risk (lc) as Proechimys setosus and P. cayennensis.
Comments:Although denigratus was described as a subspecies of iheringi (Moojen, 1948) and is often recognized as such (Possôa and Reis, 1994; 1996), Lara and Patton (2000) concluded from analysis of sequence data and morphology that it is one of three subspecies of setosus.
