Resumen

The rodents belonging to the genus Oryzomys are among the most widely distributed groups inhabiting North America.  Currently, 13 species with continental, peninsular, or insular distributions are known.  However, this genus also faces significant conservation challenges, primarily due to climate change and other human-related activities.  One such enigmatic species is Oryzomys fulgens.  Its main challenge lies in the fact that it was originally described from an imprecise type locality, simply labeled as "Mexico." Fortunately, recent research has delimited its range to the Basin of México. Nonetheless, the lack of comparison between its holotype and other specimens of the genus in México has hindered the accurate assignment of its name to any known taxon, despite being one of the oldest names within the genus, O. fulgens has rarely been used since its original description.  During our research, we collected two specimens of O. fulgens from Xochimilco, México City, a remnant wetland situated within the Basin of México, nestled within one of the largest and most urbanized cities globally.   To properly assess its taxonomic status, we compared our specimens with the holotype of O. fulgens, as well as with other species from southern and western México.  The considerable morphological differences we observed in O. fulgens, coupled with its distinct and unique habitat as the sole species of the genus occupying temperate regions at high elevations, lead us to propose that it is indeed a distinct species, separate from O. mexicanus and O. albiventer.  Historically, its distribution was likely limited to the Basin of México. Today, O. fulgens faces serious conservation problems, mainly due to the restriction of its current distribution, as far as we know, confined to Xochimilco.  Although the ancestral agricultural system known as "chinampas" might provide an ideal environment for sustaining populations of this species, it remains under significant pressure from various human activities, predators, and competition with invasive species like the black rat.  Urgent conservation efforts are needed to safeguard the unique habitat of O. fulgens and protect this enigmatic species from further decline.
