Status: IUCN - Lower Risk (lc)
Comment:
Comments: Subgenus Sigmodon, S. fulviventer species group. Lumped under S. hispidus by Cabrera (1961) following the footnoted opinion of Hershkovitz (1955a); reinstated as a species by Voss (1992) and morphologically contrasted to that species and other South American taxa. The provocative molecular results presented by Peppers et al. (2002) phyletically link this South American endemic with Middle American S. fulviventer and S. leucotis
