Treatment

Rhipidomys macconnelli De Winton 1900 , Trans. Linn. Soc. Lond., 8: 52.

Type Locality: Venezuela, Bolívar State, Mt Roraima, 8700 ft (2652 m).

Vernacular Names: Tepui Rhipidomys.

Synonyms: Rhipidomys subnubis Tate 1939 .

Distribution: Highlands of S Venezuela (Bolívar and Amazonas) and neighboring parts of N Brazil and W Guyana.

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: R. macconnelli section sensu Tribe (1996). Sometimes misallocated as a species of Thomasomys (e.g., Gyldenstolpe, 1932) but see Hershkovitz (1959 b). Tribe (1996:194) viewed macconnelli "as a possible basal offshoot of the genus.".
