Oryzomys devius Bangs, 1902 . Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool., 39:34.

TYPE LOCALITY: Panama, Chiriqui Prov., Volcan de Chiriqui, Boquete, 5000 ft .

DISTRIBUTION: Highlands of Costa Rica and westernmost Panama.

COMMENTS: Maintained as a species until relegated to synonymy under O. albigularis by Handley (1966a), emulating the treatment of South American albigularis-like forms by Cabrera (1961). Gardner (1983a), however, continued to rank devius as a species. The status of devius must be evaluated within a revisionary context of the entire albigularis complex.
