Melanomys zunigae

Melanomys is a genus of rodent in the tribe Oryzomyini of family Cricetidae,[1] which is distributed in northern South America and adjacent Central America. It contains three species, two of which--Melanomys robustulus and Melanomys zunigae—have limited distributions. The third, Melanomys caliginosus, is more widely distributed, but may be a species complex.
