Transitional colilargo

The transitional colilargo (Microakodontomys transitorius) ^[2] also known as the intermediate lesser grass mouse,^[1] is a species of rodent in the tribe Oryzomyini known only from two individuals found in the Federal District in Brazil.^[1] Although described as a link between oryzomyine and akodontine rodents and placed in its own genus, Microakodontomys, Weksler and coworkers dismissed it as an aberrant Oligoryzomys.^[3]
