Thomasomys Cinereus
The ash-colored Oldfield mouse (''Thomasomys cinereus'') is a species of rodent in the genus ''Thomasomys''. It is found in montane forests of the Department of Cajamarca in northern Peru, at elevations of . Until 2023, it was thought to be more widely distributed, ranging into southern Ecuador, but these populations are now identified as three separate, closely related species, '' T. lojapiuranus'', '' T. pagaibambensis'', and '' T. shallqukucha''. With a head-body length of , ''Thomasomys cinereus'' is a medium-sized species for the genus. Distinguishing characteristics compared to its close relatives include, among others: * Mystacial vibrissae (whiskers above the mouth) short (long in ''T. lojapiuranus'' and ''T. pagaibambensis'') * Tail shorter than or equal to head and body (longer in the other three species) * Tail slightly paler above than below (same color above and below in the other species; ''T. pagaibambensis'' additionally has a white tail tip) * Inci ...

Thomasomys Auricularis
''Thomasomys auricularis'' commonly known as the red Andean thomasomys is a species of rodent in the genus ''Thomasomys'' found in the western Andes of southwestern Ecuador. Taxonomy Although described in 1923 by Harold Elmer Anthony, ''T. auricularis'' was treated as synonym or subspecies of '' Thomasomys pyrrhonotus'' until they were identified as a separate species in 2003 and officially recognized in Mammal Species of the World (2005). Description ''Thomasomys auricularis'' is medium in size for its genus, with a head-body length of . It is characterized by its relatively long tail, moderately long hindfoot, large skull, and large, inflated auditory bullae. Initially it was compared to the similar looking '' T. aureus'' and '' T. pyrrhonotus'' but has a few distinguishing characteristics. The skull is smaller than ''T. aureus.'' The tail is longer than ''T. pyrrhonotus''. The auditory bullae is larger ''T. aureus'' but comparatively smaller than ''T. pyrrhonotus''. Distribu ...

Thomasomys Lojapiuranus
''Thomasomys lojapiuranus'' is a species of rodent in the genus ''Thomasomys'' known from Peru and Ecuador. It consists of populations that were identified as ''Thomasomys cinereus'' until they were identified as a new species in 2023. The species occurs in the Department of Piura in northern Peru and the adjacent Loja Province of southern Ecuador. The scientific name combines the names of these two administrative units. It occurs in montane forest Montane ecosystems are found on the slopes of mountains. The alpine climate in these regions strongly affects the ecosystem because temperatures lapse rate, fall as elevation increases, causing the ecosystem to stratify. This stratification is ... at an altitude of up to . The lowest elevation record is at , but this record is suspect as it is unusually low for ''Thomasomys'' and in an unusual habitat. The lowest secure record is at . Characteristic traits include brownish fur on the back, gray or brown fur on the lower side, and ...
