Oryzomys rostratus Merriam 1901 View in CoL , Proc. Wash. Acad. Sci., 3: 293.

Type Locality: México, Puebla State, Metlaltoyuca.

Vernacular Names: Long-nosed Oryzomys.

Synonyms: Oryzomys carrorum Lawrence 1947 ; Oryzomys megadon Merriam 1901 ; Oryzomys salvadorensis Felton 1958 ; Oryzomys yucatanensis Merriam 1901 .

Distribution: Deciduous and evergreen tropical forests from C Tamaulipas to Oaxaca and Yucatán Peninsula, México, through Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras (see Lee and Bradley, 1992), to S Nicaragua (see Jones and Engstrom, 1986).

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: Formerly considered a subspecies of O. melanotis ( Hall, 1981; Hooper, 1953), Engstrom (1984) effectively argued the specific distinctiveness of O. rostratus (also see account of O. melanotis ). Homogeneity of populations assigned to O. rostratus warrants additional study.
