TYPE SPECIES: Oryzomys wavrini Thomas, 1921 (= Hesperomys simplex Winge, 1887 ). COMMENTS: Associated with phyllotines by Hershkovitz (1962) , but excluded from same by Olds and Anderson (1989) . Oryzomyine characteristics illuminated by Voss and Myers (1991) , who eschewed the "traditional phenetic practices of Neotropical muroid classification" and left the genus as Sigmodontinae incertae sedis pending phylogenetic studies of its tribal-level affinity. See Voss and Myers (1991:418) on the formal availability of the genus-group name.
