Sigmodon (Sigmodon) peruanus J. A. Allen 1897 View in CoL , Bull. Am. Mus . Nat. Hist., 9: 118.

Type Locality: Perú, La Libertad Dept., Trujillo, 200 ft (61 m).

Vernacular Names: Peruvian Cotton Rat.

Synonyms: Sigmodon (Sigmodon) chonensis J. A. Allen 1913 ; Sigmodon (Sigmodon) lonnbergi Thomas 1921 ; Sigmodon (Sigmodon) puna J. A. Allen 1903 ; Sigmodon (Sigmodon) simonsi J. A. Allen 1901 .

Distribution: Pacific coastal plain and contiguous Andean foothills of W Ecuador and NW Perú.

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: Subgenus Sigmodon , S. fulviventer species group. Lumped under S. hispidus by Cabrera (1961) following the footnoted opinion of Hershkovitz (1955 a); reinstated as a species by Voss (1992) and morphologically contrasted to that species and other South American taxa. The provocative molecular results presented by Peppers et al. (2002) phyletically link this South American endemic with Middle American S. fulviventer and S. leucotis .
