Status: IUCN - Lower Risk (lc)
Comment:
Comments: This species epithet was used by Kelt et al. (1991) for the 2n = 32 chromosomal form as compared with 2n = 44 in E. typus proper; the same contrast holds for other populations in sympatry or parapatry in SC Argentina (Tiranti, 1997; Zambelli et al., 1992). Multivariate analysis of craniodental variables underscores the strong morphological divergence of specimens with known karyotype and cytochrome b haplotype (Hillard et al., 1997; Sikes et al., 1997). Historical biogeography with regard t...
