Description

Abrothrix lanosus Thomas 1897

Abrothrix lanosus Thomas 1897, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 6, 20: 218.

Type Locality: Chile, Magallanes Prov., Straits of Magellan, Monteith Bay.

Vernacular Names: Woolly Akodont.

Distribution: Southernmost Chile and Argentina, as far north as NW Santa Cruz Prov. (see Galliari and Pardiñas, 1999).

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc) as Akodon lanosis.

Discussion: Relegated to a subspecies of A. longipilis by Mann (1978) but others have affirmed its specific status (Osgood, 1943; Yañez et al., 1978). Earlier associated with Microxus (e.g., Gyldenstolpe, 1932) but later allocated to subgenus Abrothrix of Akodon (Osgood, 1943; Reig, 1987); maintained with Akodon by Muñoz Pedreros (2000).
