Hist., ser. 8, 20: 96. | | Common Name: | Large Colilargo | | Type Locality: | Argentina, Buenos Aires Prov., Delta del Paraná, Isla Ella, 1 m. | | Distribution: | EC Argentina, Uruguay, and S Brazil (Rio Grande do Sul). | | Status: | IUCN – Lower Risk (lc). | | Comments: | A large-bodied species that karyotypically and morphometrically resembles O. eliurus and O. nigripes; the level of differentiation among the three and their appropriate taxonomic status require additional investigation (see comparisons and commentary in Andrades-Miranda et al.
