Status: IUCN - Lower Risk (lc) as Akodon hershkovitzi
Comment:
Comments: A member of A. (Akodon) after Patterson et al. (1984) and also Muñoz Pedreros (2000); subgenus or genus Abrothrix according to Reig (1987) and others (e.g., Pearson and Smith, 1999; Smith and Patton, 1999). Pearson and Smith (1999) suspected that hershkovitzi will prove to be another synonym of A. olivaceus, including xanthorhinus; this possibility should be demonstrated rather than assumed in view of the morphological separation presented in its diagnosis (Patterson et al., 1984)
