Euryoryzomys emmonsae (Emmons's Rice Rat)

Synonyms: Oryzomys emmonsae

Wikipedia Abstract

Euryoryzomys emmonsae, also known as Emmons's Rice Rat or Emmons' Oryzomys, is a rodent from Amazonian Brazil in the genus Euryoryzomys of the family Cricetidae. Initially misidentified as E. macconnelli or E. nitidus, it was formally described in 1998. A rainforest species, it may be scansorial, climbing but also spending time on the ground. It occurs only in a limited area south of the Amazon River in the state of ParĂ¡, a distribution that is apparently unique among the muroid rodents of the region.
