Comment:
Status: IUCN - Lower Risk (lc)
Comment:
Comments: Subgenus Akodon. Relegated to a subspecies of A. orophilus (e.g., Cabrera, 1961), but recent studies have revealed that torques is a genetically distinctive form more closely related to A. mollis (Patton and Smith, 1992; Patton et al., 1989, 1990). Described as a species of Microxus but considered a member of Akodon proper by later authors (Ellerman, 1941; Thomas, 1927), placement vindicated by allozymic and cytochrome b data (Patton et al., 1989; Smith and Patton, 1993)
