Oryzomys hammondi Thomas 1913 View in CoL , Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 8, 12: 570.

Type Locality: Ecuador, Pichincha Prov., Mindo, 4213 ft (1284 m).

Vernacular Names: Hammond's Oryzomys.

Distribution: NW Ecuador.

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: Described as a species of Nectomys and included therein as incertae sedis by Hershkovitz (1944). Later designated as the type species of Macruroryzomys , subgenus Oryzomys , by Hershkovitz (1948 b), who afterwards (1970) acknowledged the taxon as a nomen nudum (also see Pine and Wetzel, 1975:653). Distributional limits poorly defined and affinities obscure, perhaps related to the extirpated Antillean form Megalomys ( Ray, 1962) .
