Geoxus annectens, also known as Pearson's long-clawed akodont ^[2] or Pearson's long-clawed mouse, ^[3] is a species of rodent in the tribe Abrotrichini of family Cricetidae. Molecular data suggests that its closest relative is Geoxus valdivianus . ^[4] Formerly classified in its own genus, Pearsonomys, named after American zoologist Oliver Payne Pearson, ^{[5] [6]} it was moved to Geoxus in 2016 after a morphological and genetic reevaluation of the tribe Abrotrichini. ^[7] This rodent is endemic to Chile, where it is found in Nothofagus forest of the Valdivian temperate rainforest ecoregion. ^[1]
