[Chelemys] macronyx (Thomas 1894), Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 6, 14: 362.
Type Locality: Argentina, Mendoza Prov., near Volcán Peteroa (not Fort San Rafael, as corrected by Pearson and Lagiglia, 1992).
Vernacular Names: Andean Long-clawed Akodont.
Synonyms: Chelemys alleni (Osgood 1925); Chelemys connectens (Osgood 1925); Chelemys fumosus Thomas 1927; Chelemys vestitus (Thomas 1903).
Distribution: S Andes along Chile-Argentina boundary, about 34°S latitude south to Straits of Magellan. Distribution in C Chile augmented by Pine et al. (1979) and in Argentina by Pearson (1995) and Teta et al. (2002).
Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).
Discussion: Treated as a subspecies of C. megalonyx by Mann (1978) and Tamayo and Frassinetti (1980); recognized as species by Osgood (1943) and Pearson (1984, 1995). Osgood (1943) designated the skin of Notiomys connectens as the holotype of this composite specimen (skull an Abrothrix) and synonymized it with macronyx vestitus.
