Bolomys punctulatus
Creators
Description
Bolomys punctulatus (Thomas, 1894). Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser 6, 14:361.
TYPE LOCALITY: Ecuador.
DISTRIBUTION: Indeterminate area of Ecuador and perhaps Colombia.
COMMENTS: Described as a species of Akodon but referred to a subspecies of Zygodontomys brevicauda by Hershkovitz (1962). Voss (19916) recognized the Bolomys-like traits of punctulatus and provisionally retained it as a species while noting its similarity to B. lasiurus. The enigmatic distribution of the few fragmentary specimens assignable to punctulatus, which originate from a region outside of the currently-known geographic range of Bolomys, was discussed by Voss (1991 b).
