Deltamys
Kemp's grass mouse
Species of rodent
Kemp's grass mouse (Deltamys kempi) is a species of South American rodent in the family Cricetidae. It is the only species in the genus Deltamys.[2] It was formerly considered a member of the genus Akodon, but is now considered sufficiently distinct to warrant its own genus.[3] It is named for Robin Kemp, who collected specimens of mice from the area for the British Museum.[4]
