SPECIES Oryzomys devius
Author: | Bangs, 1902. | Citation: | Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool., 39: 34. | Common Name: | Talamancan Oryzomys | Type Locality: | Panamá, Chiriqui Prov., Volcán de Chiriqui, Boquete, 5000 ft (1524 m). | Distribution: | Highlands of Costa Rica and westernmost Panamá. | Status: | IUCN – Lower Risk (lc). | Comments: | Maintained as a species until relegated to synonymy under O. albigularis by Handley (1966), emulating the treatment of South American albigularis-like forms by Cabrera (1961). Gardner (1983a), however, continued to rank devius as a species; its status must be evaluated within a revisionary context of the entire albigularis complex. |
