206. Mr. A. Hempel on Brazilian Coccidas. 
For the specimen of Santa Lucia a new specific name is 
here proposed :— 
Oryzomys lucia, sp. n. 
Mus a pilorides, Mitchell, Proc. Zool. Soc. London, 1849, 
. 105, 
Hesjeromys (Megalomys) pilorides, p. p., Trouessart, opp. cite. 
Holochilus (Megalomys) pilorides, p. p.; Trouessart, opp. ett. 
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 which is more 
convex forward than in O. piloris), and, lastly, by the colora- 
tion of the belly, which is white in Oryzomys piloris and 
nearly wholly brown, continuous with the upper colour, in 
O. lucie.
