Treatment

Eligmodontia typus F. Cuvier, 1837 . Ann. Sci. Nat. (Paris), ser. 2, 7:169.

TYPE LOCALITY: Argentina, " Buenos Aires."

DISTRIBUTION: C Argentina and contiguous parts of Chile; range uncertain.

SYNONYMS: elegans , pamparum.

COMMENTS: Hershkovitz (1962:185) discussed the uncertainty of the type locality (also see Orteils et al., 1989:138), which should be formally restricted in order to settle the morphological identification of E. typus and promote a critical definition of the species within the genus.
