Treatment

Oryzomys subflavus (Wagner, 1842) . Arch. Naturgesh., 8(1):362.

TYPE LOCALITY: Brazil, Minas Gerais, probably Lagoa Santa .

DISTRIBUTION: E Brazil.

SYNONYMS: laticeps (of Winge, 1887).

COMMENTS: Related to, and possibly conspecific with, populations in Paraguay and Argentina usually identified as O. buccinatus (see remarks therein). Hershkovitz (1960) attributed catherinae Thomas , and rex Thomas , as synonyms of O. subflavus-, however, both are forms of Oecomys (which see). The supposed distribution of O. subflavus in the Guianas (e.g., Honacki et al., 1982) issued from this erroneus allocation of names (e.g., not recorded by Husson, 1978).
