description: <i>Oryzomys</i> Baird, 1858. Mammals, <i>in</i> Repts. Expl. Surv...., 8(1):458. REVIEWED BY: M. S. Boyce (MSB); M. D. Carleton (MDC); A. L. Gardner (ALG); R. Guenzel (RG); A. Langguth (AL); R. A. Ojeda (RAO); J. Ramirez-Pulido (JRP)(Mexico); O. A. Reig (OAR). COMMENT: Includes <i>Macruroryzomys, Melanomys, Micronectomys, Mieroryzomys, Oligoryzomys,</i> and <i>Sigmodontomys;</i> see Gardner and Patton, 1976, Occas. Pap. Mus. Zool. La. St. Univ., 49:1 -48, who considered <i>Oecomys</i> a distinct genus, as does RAO; but also see Hershkovitz, 1960, Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus., 110(3420):515-532, Husson, 1978:402, Hall, 1981: 618, and Voss and Linzey, 1981, Misc. Publ. Mus. Zool. Univ. Mich., 159:13, who considered <i>Oecomys</i> a subgenus of <i>Oryzomys.</i> Ellerman, 1941: 340, included <i>Oligoryzomys</i> in <i>Oryzomys</i> as a subgenus; Cabrera, 1961:380, included <i>Oligoryzomys</i> in subgenus <i>Oryzomys</i> as a synonym. Gardner and Patton, 1976, Occas. Pap. Mus. Zool. La. St. Univ., 49:2, included <i>Macruroryzomys</i> and <i>Micronectomys</i> in <i>Oryzomys;</i> these names were proposed as subgenera by Hershkovitz, 1948, Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus., 98(3221):49-56, but Hershkovitz, 1970, J. Mammal., 51: 791, and Pine and Wetzel, 1975, Mammalia, 39:653, considered <i>Macruroryzomys</i> and <i>Micronectomys, nomina nuda.</i> Walker <i>et al.,</i> 1975:759, considered <i>Melanomys</i> a distinct genus. Formerly included <i>Nesoryzomys</i> (see Gardner and Patton, 1976:20, and Voss and Linzey, 1981, Misc. Publ. Mus. Zool. Univ. Mich., 159:24), <i>borreroi</i> (which Gardner and Patton, 1976:41, transferred to <i>Zygodontomys), Wiedomys pyrrhorhinos</i> (see Hershkovitz, 1959, Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., 72:5), <i>Pseudoryzomys wavrini</i> (see Hershkovitz, 1962, Fieldiana ZooL, 46:208), <i>Rhipidomys maculipes</i> (see Hershkovitz, 1960, Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus., 110:519), and <i>simplex</i> (which Massoia, 1980, Ameghiniana, 17: 280- 287, transferred to <i>Pseudoryzomys).</i> North American species revised by Goldman, 1918, N. Am. Fauna, 43:1 -100. <i>Oryzomys</i> is in need of revision. Subfamily Hesperomyinae; see comment under Cricetidae. ISIS NUMBER: 5301410008035000000.
