Comment:
Comments: Variation and morphological discrimination from Holochilus and Lundomys provided by Carleton and Olson (1999). Fragmentary historical archives tenuously indicate that this species was encountered by Amerigo Vespucci during his 1503 voyage to the New World and was extirpated soon thereafter (see Carleton and Olson, 1999:44-49)
