Status: IUCN - Lower Risk (lc) as Aepomys fuscatus
Comment:
Comments: Formerly ranked as a species of Thomasomys (Ellerman, 1941), subspecies of Aepeomys lugens (Cabrera, 1961), or usually a species of Aepeomys (Gardner and Patton, 1976; Musser and Carleton, 1993). Karyotype highly divergent among oryzomyines and thomasomyines reported by Gardner and Patton (1976). Specific status reinforced by Voss et al. (2002), who morphologically and morphometrically contrasted it to H. intectus
