Treatment

Oryzomys hammondi (Thomas, 1913) . Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 8, 12:570.

TYPE LOCALITY: Ecuador, Pichincha Prov., Mindo, 4213 ft .

DISTRIBUTION: NW Ecuador.

COMMENTS: Described as a species of Nectomys and included therein as incertae sedis by Hershkovitz (1944). Later designated as the type species of Macruroryzomys , subgenus Oryzomys , by Hershkovitz (1948b), who afterwards (1970b) acknowledged the taxon as a nomen nudum (also see Pine and Wetzel, 1975:653). Distributional limits poorly definded and affinities obscure, perhaps related to the extirpated Antillean form Megalomys ( Ray, 1962) .
