Hist., ser. 6, 14: 360. | Common Name: | Ornate Akodont | Type Locality: | Perú, Junín Dept., Junín. | Distribution: | Altiplano, about 2200-5000 m, from C Perú (see Arana-Cardó and Ascorra, 1994) to W Bolivia and NW Argentina. | Status: | IUCN – Lower Risk (lc) as Chroeomys jelskii. | Comments: | Revised by Sanborn (1947b); Anderson (1997) observed Sanborn’s subspecific boundaries for Bolivian samples. Patton and Smith (1992) questioned whether chromatically highly differentiated northern and southern populations really belong to a single species. |
