Agathaeromys

Wikipedia Abstract

Agathaeromys is an extinct genus of oryzomyine rodents from the Pleistocene of Bonaire, West Indies. Two species are known, which differ in size and some details of tooth morphology. The larger A. donovani, the type species, is known from hundreds of teeth, found in four localities that are probably 900,000 to 540,000 years old. A. praeuniversitatis, the smaller species, is known from 35 teeth found in a single fossil site, which is probably 540,000 to 230,000 years old.
