discussion
COMMENT: Subgenus Oligoryzomys; see Massoia, 1973, Rev. Invest. Agro. INTA, ser. 1, 10 (l): 21 - 37, Gardner and Patton, 1976, Occas. Pap. Mus. Zool. La. St. Univ., 49: 19, and Myers and Carleton, 1981, Misc. Publ. Mus. Zool. Univ. Mich., 161: 1 - 41. Hershkovitz, 1966, Z. Saugetierk., 31: 137, included longicaudatus in nigripes. Gardner and Patton, 1976: 19 - 20, and Myers and Carleton, 1981, Misc. Publ. Mus. Zool. Univ. Mich., 161: 35, considered longicaudatus and flavescens distinct species; further investigation of the relationship of longicaudatus with nigripes, chacoensis, and delticola is needed. Cabrera, 1961: 380, 390, included Oligoryzomys in subgenus Oryzomys, and included destructor in longicaudatus. OAR considers destructor a separate species.
