Treatment

Oryzomys devius Bangs 1902 , Bull. Mus . Comp. Zool., 39: 34.

Type Locality: Panamá, Chiriqui Prov., Volcán de Chiriqui, Boquete, 5000 ft (1524 m).

Vernacular Names: Talamancan Oryzomys.

Distribution: Highlands of Costa Rica and westernmost Panamá.

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: Maintained as a species until relegated to synonymy under O. albigularis by Handley (1966), emulating the treatment of South American albigularis-like forms by Cabrera (1961). Gardner (1983a), however, continued to rank devius as a species; its status must be evaluated within a revisionary context of the entire albigularis complex.
