Type Locality: Unknown, but probably Brazil, Bahia ( Moojen, 1948:386).

Vernacular Names: Hairy Atlantic Spiny-rat.

Subspecies: :

Subspecies Trinomys setosus subsp. setosus Desmarest 1817

Subspecies Trinomys setosus subsp. denigratus Moojen 1948

Subspecies Trinomys setosus subsp. elegans Lund 1841

Distribution: E Brazil (states of Espírito Santo and Minas Gerais).

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc) as Proechimys setosus and P. cayennensis .

Discussion: Although denigratus was described as a subspecies of iheringi ( Moojen, 1948) and is often recognized as such (Possôa and Reis, 1994; 1996), Lara and Patton (2000) concluded from analysis of sequence data and morphology that it is one of three subspecies of setosus .
