Hist., 31: 89. | | Common Name: | Dusky-footed Handley’s Mouse | | Type Locality: | Colombia, Valle del Cauca Dept., San Antonio, near Cali, 7000 ft (2134 m). | | Distribution: | Cordillera Occidental, 1700-2580 m, W Colombia. | | Status: | IUCN – Lower Risk (lc) as Aepomys fuscatus. | | Comments: | Formerly ranked as a species of Thomasomys (Ellerman, 1941), subspecies of Aepeomys lugens (Cabrera, 1961), or usually a species of Aepeomys (Gardner and Patton, 1976; Musser and Carleton, 1993).
