Treatment

Oryzomys saturatior Merriam, 1901 . Proc. Washington Acad. Sci., 3:290.

TYPE LOCALITY: Mexico, Chiapas, Tumbala, 5000 ft .

DISTRIBUTION: Cloud forest elevations from S Oaxaca and Chiapas, Mexico, through Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador, to NC Nicaragua.

SYNONYMS: hylocetes .

COMMENTS: Described as a subspecies of O. chapmani (Merriam, 1901) and later retained as a subspecies of O. alfaroi ( Goldman, 1918; Hall and Kelson, 1959). In our revision (in prep.) of the alfaroi complex we view the divergence of chapmani and saturatior , whose ranges are separated by the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, as sister species.
