Nesoryzomys swarthi, also known as the Santiago nesoryzomys [2] or Santiago Galápagos mouse, [1] is a species of rodent in the genus Nesoryzomys of family Cricetidae. It is found only on Santiago in the Galápagos Islands. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry shrubland. [1]
It was considered extinct since it was last recorded in 1906, but it was rediscovered in 1997. A smaller, related rice rat was also rediscovered—the Fernandina rice rat ( Nesoryzomys fernandinae) on Fernandina. [3]
