Pseudoryzomys
''Pseudoryzomys simplex'', also known as the Brazilian false rice rat〔 or false oryzomys,〔Musser and Carleton, 2005, p. 1164〕 is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae from south-central South America. It is found in lowland palm savanna and thorn scrub habitats. It is a medium-sized species, weighing about , with gray–brown fur, long and narrow hindfeet, and a tail that is about as long as the head and body. The IUCN has assessed its conservation status as being of least concern, although almost nothing is known of its diet or reproduction.
The only species in the genus ''Pseudoryzomys'', its closest living relatives are the large rats ''Holochilus'' and ''Lundomys'', which are semiaquatic, spending much of their time in the water. The three genera share several characters, including specializations towards a semiaquatic lifestyle, such as the presence of membranes between the digits (interdigital webbing), and a reduction in the complexity of the molar crowns, both of which are at incipient stages in ''Pseudoryzomys''. Together, they form a unique assemblage within the oryzomyine tribe, a very diverse group including over one hundred species, mainly in South America. This tribe is part of the subfamily Sigmodontinae and family Cricetidae, which include many more species, mainly from Eurasia and the Americas. ''Pseudoryzomys simplex'' was independently described in 1887 on the basis of subfossil cave specimens from Brazil (as ''Hesperomys simplex''); and in 1921 on the basis of a live specimen from Paraguay (as ''Oryzomys wavrini''). This was confirmed in 1991 that both names pertained to the same species.
