[Hylaeamys] laticeps: Weksler et al., 2006Hylaeamys laticeps, also known as the Atlantic Forest Oryzomys[1] or Large-headed Rice Rat,[2] is a species of rodent in the genus Hylaeamys of family Cricetidae. It occurs in the Atlantic Forest region of southeastern Brazil. Its taxonomic history has been complex, and the name laticeps has been used for various members of the genera Cerradomys, Euryoryzomys, Transandinomys and Hylaeamys at different times. Until 2006, it was classified in the genus Oryzomys as Oryzomys laticeps. The species Oryzomys seuanezi is now a junior synonym of H. laticeps.
