The Caparaó hocicudo (Oxymycterus caparaoe)[a] is a rodent species from South America.

It is endemic to Brazil where it is found in the Pico da Bandeira mountain range.

The dorsal hairs have grey bases, orange midsections and blackish tips, giving an overall dark brown colour.

[3] The Caparaó hocicudo is found only in the Pico da Bandeira mountain range on the border between Espírito Santo and Minas Gerais states at altitudes between about 2,100 and 2,400 m (6,900 and 7,900 ft).

These mountains are topped by cool, moist grassland and this hocicudo is plentiful in areas of bunchgrass (Cortaderia spp) and Andean bamboo (Chusquea).
