Euryoryzomys
Template:Short description Template:Automatic taxobox Euryoryzomys is a genus of rodents in the tribe Oryzomyini of family Cricetidae.[1] It includes seven species, which are distributed in South America.[1][2] Until 2006, its members were included in the genus Oryzomys, but they are not closely related to the type species of that genus, and therefore they were placed in a new genus.[1] They are most closely related to genera like Hylaeamys and Transandinomys; many members of these genera were previously placed in a single species, known as Oryzomys capito.[1] The genus name, Euryoryzomys, combines the name "Oryzomys" with the Ancient Greek word eurus "broad", referring to the broad range in distribution of the genus.[1]
It includes the following species:
- Euryoryzomys emmonsae (Musser, Carleton, Brothers & Gardner, 1998)
- Euryoryzomys lamia (Thomas, 1901)
- Euryoryzomys legatus (Thomas, 1925)
- Euryoryzomys macconnelli (Thomas, 1910)
- Euryoryzomys nitidus (Thomas, 1884)
- Euryoryzomys russatus (Wagner, 1848)
- Euryoryzomys cerqueirai Percequillo & Weksler, 2023[2]Template:Rp
