The Darien Harvest Mouse is a small, little-known harvest mouse from the Darien region of eastern Panama, at the southern limit of the Reithrodontomys genus. Known from very few specimens, its ecology and conservation status are poorly understood. Its range marks the approximate boundary between North and South American small mammal fauna.
