Geoxus annectens, also known as Pearson's long-clawed akodont[2] or Pearson's long-clawed mouse,[3] is a species of rodent in the tribe Abrotrichini of family Cricetidae. Molecular data suggests that its closest relative is Geoxus valdivianus.[4] Formerly classified in its own genus, Pearsonomys, named after American zoologist Oliver Payne Pearson,[5][6] it was moved to Geoxus in 2016 after a morphological and genetic reevaluation of the tribe Abrotrichini.[7] This rodent is endemic to Chile, where it is found in Nothofagus forest of the Valdivian temperate rainforest ecoregion.[1]
