The pallid Atlantic Forest rat (Delomys sublineatus) is a rodent species from South America. It is endemic to the Atlantic Forest of Brazil.
The rodent subfamily Sigmodontinae includes New World rats and mice, with at least 376 species. Many authorities include the Neotominae and Tylomyinae as part of a larger definition of Sigmodontinae. When those genera are included, the species count numbers at least 508. Their distribution includes much of the New World, but the genera are predominantly South American, such as brucies. They invaded South America from Central America as part of the Great American Interchange near the end of the Miocene, about 5 million years ago. Sigmodontines proceeded to diversify explosively in the formerly isolated continent. They inhabit many of the same ecological niches that the Murinae occupy in the Old World.
Bokermann's nectar bat is a bat species from South America. It is endemic to Brazil. It feeds on nectar, and is listed as an endangered species.
The greater round-eared bat is a bat species found in northeastern and southern Brazil, northern Argentina, Paraguay and Bolivia. The species feeds on fruit as well as hunting small birds. Once caught, birds are taken to a shelter and consumed.
Lund's Atlantic tree-rat,, is a spiny rat species found in Brazil.
The long-furred Atlantic tree-rat or Thomas's Atlantic tree-rat, is a spiny rat species found in Brazil. In recent years, this species have unveiled itself in different parts of Brazil where researchers and scientists are still closely looking into due to lack of knowledge on this species. The Phyllomys medius is closely related to two other species that have recently been connected to the long furred Atlantic tree rat due to similarities in physical characteristics and DNA.
Euryoryzomys russatus, also known as the russet oryzomys, russet rice rat, or big-headed rice rat, is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. It is a member of the genus Euryoryzomys, which was split off from Oryzomys in 2006. It was first described by Johann Andreas Wagner in 1848. It is found in southern Brazil, eastern Paraguay and northeastern Argentina. It is considered a large species in its genus, with a reddish-brown coat, long tail length, and large skull. It is a terrestrial rodent, spending its time foraging for seeds, fruits, and insects. It is listed by the IUCN as least concern, although studies have shown it to be influenced by anthropogenic disturbances. Predators consist of small members of the order Carnivora.
The striped Atlantic Forest rat is a rodent species from South America. It is found in Argentina and Brazil.
The blue-naped chlorophonia is a colourful South American species of bird in the family Fringillidae; it was formerly placed in the Thraupidae. It is generally fairly common.
Layard's palm squirrel or flame-striped jungle squirrel is a species of rodent in the family Sciuridae endemic to Sri Lanka. The validity of the subspecies F. l. dravidianus based on a single specimen from the southern tip of India has been questioned, and is probably a juvenile F. sublineatus. Known as මූකලන් ලේනා in Sinhala.
Funambulus is a genus of rodents in the Sciuridae (squirrel) family, the only one in tribe Funambulini. It contains these species:
The Nilgiri striped squirrel is a threatened species of rodent, a small squirrel (Sciuridae) from rainforests in the southern Western Ghats, including the Nilgiris, in Peninsular India. It formerly included Funambulus obscurus from Sri Lanka as a subspecies, at which point the English name of the "combined species" also was dusky striped squirrel.
Oecomys catherinae, also known as the Atlantic Forest oecomys, is a species of rodent in the genus Oecomys from eastern Brazil.
The black-spined Atlantic tree-rat,, is a South American spiny rat species in the family Echimyidae. It is found in southeastern Brazil, where it inhabits moist broadleaf forest and semideciduous forest in the Atlantic Forest region. It is arboreal and is believed to build nests of leaves in trees. Its karyotype has 2n=52.
Oligodon sublineatus, commonly known as Dumeril's kukri snake is a species of rear-fanged kukri snake found in Sri Lanka.
The montane Atlantic Forest rat is a South American rodent species of the family Cricetidae. It is endemic to part of the Atlantic Forest region of southeastern Brazil, where it is found at elevations from 1000 to 2700 m in noncontiguous mountain ranges. Its karyotype, like that of closely related Delomys dorsalis, has 2n = 82, but the fundamental numbers of the two species differ. While it is not thought to be in present danger of extinction, habitat destruction and grassland fires are considered to be threats.
Enteromius sublineatus is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Enteromius from West Africa.
Delomys is a genus of South American rodents of family Cricetidae. Three species are known, all found in the Atlantic Forest of Argentina and Brazil. They are as follows:
The dusky striped squirrel is a species of small squirrel from Sri Lanka that is largely confined to rainforests in the southwestern "wet zone" with higher rainfall than the rest of the island. It was formerly regarded as a subspecies of Funambulus sublineatus from India, at which point the English name of the "combined species" also was dusky striped squirrel. It is known as පුංචි ලේනා or "batu lena" in the Sinhala language.
