Oryzomys rhabdops Merriam 1901 View in CoL , Proc. Wash. Acad. Sci., 3: 292.

Type Locality: Guatemala, Quezaltenango Dept., Calel, 10,000 ft (3048 m).

Vernacular Names: Highland Oryzomys.

Synonyms: Oryzomys angusticeps Merriam 1901 .

Distribution: Highlands of S Chiapas, México, and C Guatemala.

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: Allocated to subspecies of O. alfaroi by Goldman (1918), as conventionally observed in later systematic works (e.g., Hall, 1981). Merriam’s form is a valid species, having a much longer tail, longer pelage, and larger cranium than true O. alfaroi .
