Oryzomys
Baird 1857
The genus
Oryzomys
, that until recently was the most speciose of the tribe
Oryzomyini
, now comprises five species,
O. antillarum
(Thomas 1898)
,
O. couesi
(Alston 1877)
,
O. dimidiatus
(Thomas 1905)
,
O. gorgasi
(Hershkovitz 1971)
, and
O. palustris
(Harlan 1837)
. These species range from North and Central America to northwestern South America (
Percequillo 2015f
;
Voss & Weksler 2009
;
Weksler
et al
. 2006
). There was cytogenetic information available only for
O. couesi
and
O. palustris
.
