COMMENT: Includes boliviae and legatus; nitidus was formerly included in capito ; subgenus Oryzomys ; see Gardner and Patton, 1976, Occas. Pap. Mus. Zool. La. St. Univ., 49:38-40; but also see Massoia, 1974, Rev. Invest. Agro. INTA, ser. 5, Patalogia Vegetal., 11(1). Hershkovitz, 1966, Z. Saugetierk., 31: 138, included nitidus in alfaroi . Gardner and Patton, 1976, Occas. Pap. Mus. Zool. La. St. Univ., 49:38-40, stated that bolivaris and intermedius probably belonged in nitidus . ALG states that bolivaris is a synonym of rivularis and that intermedius has no status, being a renaming of laticeps, which is a subjective synonym of capito .
