Pearsonomys 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. It is the only species in the genus Pearsonomys. Molecular data suggests that its closest relative is Geoxus valdivianus.[4] This rodent is endemic to Chile, where it is found in Nothofagus forest of the Valdivian temperate rainforest ecoregion.[1] The genus is named after American zoologist Oliver Payne Pearson.[5][6]
