| 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. |
