SPECIES Ctenomys johannis

Author:Thomas, 1921.
Citation:Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 9, 7: 523.
Common Name:San Juan Tuco-tuco
Type Locality:Argentina, San Juan Prov., Caņada Honda, 600 m.
Distribution:S San Juan Prov., Argentina.
Comments:Originally described as a subspecies of coludo by Thomas (1921) but Cabrera (1961) and Woods (1993) included coludo and johannis in fulvus. Contreras et al. (1977) considered these forms provisionally distinct and Nowak (1999) and Galliari et al. (1996) considered johannis a distinct species. Contreras et al. (1977) corrected the elevation of the type locality to 600 m and suggested a close relationship with validus.
