Ctenomys frater: Comments
Comment:
Status: IUCN - Lower Risk (lc). Uncommon
Comment:
Comments: Woods (1993) included barbarus, budini, and utibilis but see Galliari et al. (1996). Argentine populations previously recognized as frater are here recognized as budini or sylvanus. Closely related to lewisi (Cook et al., 1990; Cook and Yates, 1994; Lessa and Cook, 1998). Karyotype has 2n=52 and FN=78 (Cook et al., 1990)
