Nectomys palmipes J. A. Allen and Chapman 1893 View in CoL , Bull. Am. Mus . Nat. Hist., 5: 209.

Type Locality: Trinidad, Victoria County, Princes Town.

Vernacular Names: Trinidad Nectomys.

Synonyms: Nectomys tatei Hershkovitz 1948 .

Distribution: Isl of Trinidad and nearby region of NE Venezuela; limits of distribution unknown.

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: Arranged by Hershkovitz (1944) as one of many subspecies of N. squamipes . Barros et al. (1992) reinstated palmipes to species based on its inordinately low diploid number (2n = 16-17) as compared to other populations of Nectomys , which range from 2n = 38 to 59 ( Barros et al., 1992; Gardner and Patton, 1976). Linares (1998) retained palmipes as a subspecies of N. squamipes ; junior status of tatei identified by Voss et al. (2001).
