''Cerradomys scotti'', also known as Lindbergh's oryzomys,〔Musser and Carleton, 2005〕 is a rodent species from South America in the genus ''Cerradomys''. It is terrestrial and is found in the cerrado (savanna) ecozone of south central Brazil, Bolivia and Paraguay.〔 The species is common and appears to tolerate a degree of agricultural habitat modification.〔 It was first described in 2002 as ''Oryzomys scotti'', after zoologist Scott Lindbergh.〔Percequillo et al., 2008〕 In 2004, another new species, ''Oryzomys andersoni'', was described by a team from Texas Tech University on the basis of a specimen taken at Pozo Mario, Santa Cruz Department, southeastern Bolivia. It was named after eminent mammalogist Sydney Anderson in honor of his contributions to the study of Bolivian mammals.〔Brooks et al., 2004, p. 3〕 It was subsequently recognized as belonging to the same species as ''Oryzomys scotti'' on the basis of morphological and molecular evidence.〔Percequillo et al., 2008, p. 21〕 In 2006, the species was transferred to the new genus ''Cerradomys'', so that it became known as ''Cerradomys scotti'', with ''Oryzomys andersoni'' as a junior synonym.〔Weksler et al., 2006〕 The holotype of ''Oryzomys andersoni'' has a white belly and a grey–brown back with a black dorsal stripe. It has head-body length 111 mm, tail length 122 mm, hindfoot length 30 mm, ear length 17 mm and weight 37 g.〔Brooks et al., 2004, p. 4〕 It was collected in cerrado habitat. Other mammals found in the same area include ''Monodelphis domestica'', ''Proechimys longicaudatus'', ''Sciurus spadiceus'', ''Galea spixii'', ''Dasyprocta punctata'', the nine-banded armadillo (''Dasypus novemcinctus''), the crab-eating fox (''Cerdocyon thous''), the red brocket (''Mazama americana''), and the brown brocket (''Mazama gouazoupira'').〔Brooks et al., 2004, p. 6〕 == References ==
