The Paraná grass mouse is a South American rodent species of the family Cricetidae. It is found in northeastern Argentina and southeastern Brazil.
The lesser Wilfred's mouse is a species of South American rodents of the family Cricetidae. It was first described by Wilfred H. Osgood under the name Thomasomys pictipes, then into the genus Wilfredomys, and now known as Juliomys pictipes. The lesser Wilfred's mouse is endemic to northeastern Argentina and southeastern Brazil. Its physical appearance ranges from dark brown to light orange coloration and the typical size is small to medium. This species is arboreal, spending most of its time trees and living in the local forests at altitudes from sea level to 2000 m. Currently, this species is listed as Least Concern by the IUCN, but, threats include livestock farming, ranching, and wood harvesting.
Akodon budini, also known as Budin's akodont or Budin's grass mouse, is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. It is found in the Andes of northwestern Argentina and adjacent Bolivia. The species is named after Emilio Budin, an Argentine specimen collector who worked with Oldfield Thomas.
Abrothrix sanborni, also known as Sanborn's grass mouse or Sanborn's akodont, is a species of rodent in the genus Abrothrix of family Cricetidae. It is found in southern Argentina and Chile, but may not be distinct from A. longipilis.
Andalgalomys is a genus of rodent in the family Cricetidae. It contains the following species:
Pearson's chaco mouse is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. This mouse is found in the Gran Chaco ecoregion of southeastern Bolivia and western Paraguay at elevations up to 400 m. The species is named after American zoologist Oliver Payne Pearson. Its karyotype has 2n = 76 and 78 in the two subspecies. The latter is the highest diploid number of any species in the tribe Phyllotini.
The Bolivian vesper mouse is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia and perhaps Peru.
The biting chinchilla mouse is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. It is found in west central Argentina and nearby areas of Chile, where it inhabits highland meadows, probably at elevations of 1740 to 3000 m.
Peterson's chinchilla mouse is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. It is found in west central and southern Argentina and nearby areas of Chile. The species is named after American paleontologist Olaf A. Peterson (1865–1933).
Oligoryzomys magellanicus, also known as the Patagonian colilargo and the Magellanic pygmy rice rat, is a species of rodent in the genus Oligoryzomys of the family Cricetidae. It is found in the southernmost parts of Argentina and Chile, including Tierra del Fuego and other outlying islands. Its karyotype has 2n = 54 and FNa = 66.
Handleyomys chapmani, also known as Chapman's oryzomys or Chapman's rice rat, is a species of rodent in the genus Handleyomys of family Cricetidae. It is found only in Mexico. It was previously placed in Oryzomys as Oryzomys chapmani, but has been provisionally transferred to the genus Handleyomys pending the description of a new genus to contain it.
Stirton's deer mouse is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. It is found in El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. P. stirtoni is widely distributed and is presumed to have a large population and a tolerance of habitat destruction, though its biology is poorly understood. The species is named after Ruben A. Stirton (1901-1966), an American zoologist associated with the University of California at Berkeley.
Olrog's gull is a species of gull found along the Atlantic coast of southern Brazil, Uruguay, and northern Argentina. It was formerly considered a subspecies of the very similar L. belcheri. It is a large gull with a black back and wings, white head and underparts, a black band in the otherwise white tail, and a yellow bill with a red and black tip. Nonbreeding adults have a blackish head and a white eye ring. The species is named after Swedish-Argentine biologist Claes C. Olrog. It has a rather restricted breeding range and is threatened by habitat loss, and the IUCN has rated it as being "near threatened".
Olrog's cinclodes is a species of bird in the family Furnariidae. It is endemic to Argentina. The species is named after Swedish-Argentine biologist Claes C. Olrog.
Roig's pericote or Roig's chaco mouse is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. Its karyotype has 2n = 60 and FN = 120. It may be a subspecies of Olrog's chaco mouse.
Olrog's four-eyed opossum is a South American species of opossum found in eastern Bolivia, first described in 2008 based on specimens collected in 1974. It inhabits the lowland Amazon rainforest, with an elevation range of 150 to 250 m. The species is named after Swedish-Argentine biologist Claes C. Olrog. It is sympatric with P. opossum, which it resembles. The two species differ in several ways, such as ventral fur color and condition of the zygomatic arch.
Geoxus annectens, also known as Pearson's long-clawed akodont or Pearson's long-clawed mouse, is a species of rodent in the tribe Abrotrichini of family Cricetidae. Molecular data suggests that its closest relative is Geoxus valdivianus. Formerly classified in its own genus, Pearsonomys, named after American zoologist Oliver Payne Pearson, it was moved to Geoxus in 2016 after a morphological and genetic reevaluation of the tribe Abrotrichini. This rodent is endemic to Chile, where it is found in Nothofagus forest of the Valdivian temperate rainforest ecoregion.
The Córdoba vesper mouse or Córdoba laucha is a South American rodent species of the family Cricetidae. It is endemic to the area of Córdoba Province, central Argentina, where it is found in the espinal.
The naked-soled conyrat is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. It is an herbivore of grasslands in northern Argentina, southern Brazil, and Uruguay.
The delicate salt flat mouse is a sigmodontine rodent species in the family Cricetidae from South America. It is the only species in the genus Salinomys. Its habitat is scrublands bordering salt flats in the Monte Desert area of central western Argentina at elevations around 400 m. The closest relatives of the species are the chaco mice (Andalgalomys).
