Treatment

Oligoryzomys vegetus Bangs 1902 , Bull. Mus . Comp. Zool., 39: 35.

Type Locality: Panamá, Chiriqui Prov., Volcán de Chiriqui, Boquete, 4000 ft (1219 m).

Vernacular Names: Sprightly Colilargo.

Synonyms: Oligoryzomys creper (Goodwin 1945) ; Oligoryzomys reventazoni (Goodwin 1945) .

Distribution: Lower montane and montane wet forests, 840-3000 m, in C Costa Rica and W Panamá.

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (nt).

Discussion: Relegated to a subspecies of O. fulvescens by Goldman (1918) and so arranged thereafter (e.g., Hall, 1981). Bangs (1902), however, correctly recognized the sympatry of his new species with O. fulvescens , and Carleton and Musser (1995) clarified its morphological definition, regional synonymies, and geographic range.
