It is found only in a small region of the Andes in central Bolivia, where it lives in cloud forest at altitudes from 2600 to 3000 m.Hinojosa et al., 1987, p. 15; Musser and Carleton, 2005 Exceptionally small for its genus,Hinojosa et al., 1987, p. 1 ''O. hucucha'' was first recognized as new when a specimen was caught in 1984 in the Siberia Cloud Forest in Bolivia's Cochabamba Department, near the border of Santa Cruz Department. It was recognized as an ''Oxymycterus'' by its long claws relative to other, sympatric small akodontine rodents.Hinojosa et al., 1987, p. 2 Two other specimens caught nearbyHinojosa et al., 1987, p. 15 in 1955 and 1979 were then recognized as pertaining to the same species; one had been misidentified as ''Akodon mimus''.
