SPECIES Oryzomys galapagoensis
| Author: | Waterhouse, 1839. | | Citation: | Zool. Voy. H. M. S. "Beagle," Mammalia: 66. | | Common Name: | Galapagos Oryzomys | | Type Locality: | Ecuador, Galápagos Isls, Chatham Isl. | | Distribution: | San Cristobal (= Chatham) and Sante Fe (= Barrington) Isls. | | Status: | IUCN – Extinct as O. g. galapagoensis, Vulnerable as G. g. bauri. | | Comments: | Cabrera (1961) assigned bauri as a synonym of O. galapagoensis, an action more fully documented by Patton and Hafner (1983). Related to Oryzomys xanthaeolus complex on mainland South America (Gardner and Patton, 1976; Patton and Hafner, 1983). Extirpated from San Cristobal Isl (galapagoensis proper) but populations (O. g. bauri) still inhabit Sante Fe Isl (see Dowler et al., 2000; Patton and Hafner, 1983). |
