Galápagos Rice Rat →
Aegialomys galapagoensis — Common names used for this species include "Galapagos [sic] Oryzomys" and "Galápagos Rice Rat". Google Books and Google Scholar indicate that neither common name is really in common use; in fact, many of the uses of "Galápagos Rice Rat" seem to refer to
Nesoryzomys instead of this species. The former scientific name, Oryzomys galapagoensis, is in more frequent use, but the scientific name was recently changed to Aegialomys galapagoensis. The latter should be used as the article title in the absence of a well-established vernacular name. See
WT:MAMMAL#Common names,
Talk:Euryoryzomys macconnelli,
Talk:Irenomys,
Talk:Noronhomys, and
Talk:Megalomys luciae for prior discussion of moves of this nature.

In case anybody (er, I mean you, Ucucha) is interested, the description of this species is in the public domain and in one of these books, in case you want to copy some text from it as has been done with a number of bird species. — innotata ( Talk • Contribs) 23:38, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
