Oligoryzomys victus (Thomas 1898)

[Oligoryzomys] victus (Thomas 1898), Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 7, 1: 178.

Type Locality: Lesser Antilles, Saint Vincent.

Vernacular Names: St. Vincent Colilargo.

Distribution: Known only from the type locality.

Conservation: IUCN – Endangered.

Discussion: Earlier classifications listed O. victus as an Oryzomys of uncertain affinity (Ellerman, 1941; Goldman, 1918), and Hall and Kelson (1959) erroneously placed it with their " tectus group" (= Oecomys). Thomas (1898 a), and later Ray (1962), emphasized its alliance with species of Oligoryzomys . Known only by the holotype; presumably extinct (see Ray, 1962).
