Treatment

Neacomys pictus Goldman 1912 , Smithson. Misc. Coll., 60: 2.

Type Locality: Panamá, Darién Prov., Cana, 1800 ft (549 m).

Vernacular Names: Painted Neacomys.

Distribution: Known only from easternmost Panamá.

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (nt).

Discussion: Cabrera (1961) allocated pictus to subspecific standing under N. tenuipes , and Handley (1966) concurred, but examination of series in USNM suggests that the relationship and status of this gracile form bear reexamination.
