206 Mr. A. Hempel on Brazilian Coccidge. 



For the specimen of Santa Lucia a new specific name is 

 here proposed : — 



Oryzomys lucice, sp. n. 



Mxis (Hcsperomys) pilorides, MitchtU, Proc. Zool. Soc. London, 1849, 



p. lOo. 

 Hesfcromys {Megalomys) pilorides, p. p., Trouessavt, opp. citt. 

 Hohchilm {Megalomi/s) pilorides, p. p., Trouessavt, opp. citt. 



The Martinique specimens vary somewhat in their dimen- 

 sions ; all are of large size, the skull of the largest specimen, 

 described by Trouessart, having a length of 70 millim. 



The species of Santa Lucia is distinguished by its habitat, 

 its smaller size, the conformation of the outer wall of the 

 infraorbital foramen (the anterior margin of whicii is more 

 convex forward than in 0. piloris^j find, lastly, by tiie colora- 

 tion of the belly, which is white in Oryzomys pilaris and 

 nearly wholly brown, continuous with the upper colour, in 

 0. luciie.
