Nesoryzomys swarthi, also known as the Santiago nesoryzomys[1] or Santiago Galápagos mouse,[2] is a species of rodent in the genus Nesoryzomys of family Cricetidae. It is found only on Santiago in the Galápagos Islands. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry shrubland.[2]
It was considered extinct since it was last recorded in 1906, but it was rediscovered in 1997. A smaller, related rice rat was also rediscovered—the Fernandina rice rat (Nesoryzomys fernandinae) on Fernandina.[3]
