Euryoryzomys is a genusofrodents in the tribe Oryzomyini of family Cricetidae.[1] It includes seven species, which are distributed in South America.[1][2] Until 2006, its members were included in the genus Oryzomys, but they are not closely related to the type species of that genus, and therefore they were placed in a new genus.[1] They are most closely related to genera like Hylaeamys and Transandinomys; many members of these genera were previously placed in a single species, known as Oryzomys capito.[1] The genus name, Euryoryzomys, combines the name "Oryzomys" with the Ancient Greek word eurus "broad", referring to the broad range in distribution of the genus.[1]
It includes the following species:
