SPECIES Graomys domorum
| Author: | Thomas, 1902. | | Citation: | Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 7, 9: 132. | | Common Name: | Pale Pericote | | Type Locality: | Bolivia, Cochabamba Dept., Tapacari, 3000 m. | | Distribution: | E slopes of Andes in SC Bolivia (600-3700 m) and NW Argentina. | | Status: | IUCN – Lower Risk (lc). | | Comments: | Maintained as species by Cabrera (1961), but ranked as a subspecies of griseoflavus by Hershkovitz (1962). Chromosomal divergence reported by Pearson and Patton (1976), who reinstated domorum as a species (also see Olds et al., 1987). Reig (1978) followed Cabrera (1961) in allocating taterona to G. domorum, and Anderson (1997) maintained the latter as a definable subspecies. |
