Discussion: Oryzomyini . Sister genus to Microryzomys according to gene sequence studies ( Myers et al., 1995; Patton and da Silva, 1995; Smith and Patton, 1999; Weksler, 2003) or to Oligoryzomys according to allozymic analyses ( Dickerman and Yates, 1995). Recent taxonomic descriptions and detailed regional comparisons have markedly improved understanding of species diversity and their morphological discrimination ( Patton et al., 2000; Voss et al., 2001). Delineation of yet other species and enhancement of distributional limits still required (e.g., see Malygin and Rosmiarek, 1996; Patton et al., 2000). Preliminary molecular geographic patterns discerned by Patton et al. (2000) offer a template for future taxonomic studies.
