SPECIES Akodon (Akodon) dolores
| Author: | Thomas, 1916. | | Citation: | Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 8, 18: 324. | | Common Name: | Córdoba Akodont | | Type Locality: | Argentina, Córdoba Prov., near Villa Dolores, Yacanto, 900 m. | | Distribution: | C Argentina (Catamarca, Córdoba, and Santiago del Estero). | | Status: | IUCN – Lower Risk (lc). | | Comments: | Subgenus Akodon, A. varius species group (Myers, 1989). Considered closely related to A. molinae (Bianchi et al., 1979; Myers, 1989; Wittouck et al., 1995), if not conspecific with it (Hershkovitz, 1990c), but karyological differences (2n = 34-40 in A. dolores versus 42-44 in A. molinae) and generally non-overlapping distributions suggest distinctive species, as clarified by Tiranti (1998b). |
