SPECIES Akodon (Akodon) albiventer
| Author: | Thomas, 1897. | | Citation: | Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 6, 20: 217. | | Common Name: | White-bellied Akodont | | Type Locality: | Argentina, Salta Prov., Bajo Río Cachí. | | Distribution: | SE Perú, through SW Bolivia, to N Argentina and extreme NE Chile. | | Status: | IUCN – Lower Risk (lc). | | Comments: | Subgenus Akodon. Sometimes referenced as a member of Bolomys (Bianchi et al., 1971; Gardner and Patton, 1976), but its inclusion, together with berlepschii, within Akodon proper is more strongly supported based on morphlogical comparisons and molecular analyses (D’Elía et al., 2003; Pine et al., 1979; Reig, 1987). Anderson (1997) retained berlepschii as a valid subspecies. |
