Neotomys ebriosus Thomas 1894

Description

Neotomys ebriosus Thomas 1894

Neotomys ebriosus Thomas 1894, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 6, 14: 348.

Type Locality: Perú, Junín Dept., Vítoc Valley.

Vernacular Names: Red-nosed Neotomys.

Synonyms: Neotomys vulturnus Thomas 1921.

Distribution: Altiplano grasslands and shrubby steppe, mostly 2500-4500 m, from C Perú (Junín), south through northernmost Chile and W Bolivia, to NW Argentina (see Anderson, 1997; Bárquez, 1983; Pardiñas and Ortiz, 2001; Sanborn, 1947 a).

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: Revised by Sanborn (1947 a), who reduced vulturnus to a subspecies of N. ebriosus, as recognized by Anderson (1997) for Bolivian populations. Distribution augmented by Pearson (1951), Pine et al. (1979), and Pardiñas and Ortiz (2001). First fossil occurrences documented from the late Pleistocene-Holocene of NW Argentina by Pardiñas and Ortiz (2001), who discussed the paleoecological significance of the lower altitudes recorded.
