Rhipidomys venezuelae Thomas 1896 View in CoL , Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 6, 18: 303.

Type Locality: Venezuela, Mérida State, Mérida, 1630 m.

Vernacular Names: Venezuelan Rhipidomys.

Synonyms: Rhipidomys tobagi Goodwin 1961 .

Distribution: Mountains of N and W Venezuela, including Trinidad and Tobago, and E Colombia.

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: R. leucodactylus section sensu Tribe (1996). This form may represent the E Andean complement of R. latimanus (see that account). The provisional association of R. nitela tobagi Goodwin , heretofore placed as a synonym of R. nitela (e.g., Musser and Carleton, 1993; Tribe, 1996), follows the observations of Voss et al. (2001).
