Requested move[edit]

Pygmy rice rat → Oligoryzomys — This genus is usually referred to by its scientific name, not by this "common name" (see Google, Google Books, Google Scholar). See WT:MAMMAL#Common names, Talk:Irenomys, Talk:Noronhomys, Talk:Megalomys luciae, Talk:Euryoryzomys macconnelli for similar prior discussions.
