SPECIES Akodon (Akodon) boliviensis

Comments:Subgenus Akodon, A. boliviensis species group (Myers et al., 1990). Karyology and geographic variation evaluated by Myers et al. (1990), who more narrowly defined the morphological and distributional boundaries of A. boliviensis, excluding spegazzinii and subfuscus, forms which had been arranged as subspecies (e.g., Cabrera, 1961). Southern range limits poorly understood (see Myers et al., 1990).
