Ctenomys johannis Thomas 1921 View in CoL

Ctenomys johannis Thomas 1921 View in CoL , Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 9, 7: 523.

Type Locality: Argentina, San Juan Prov., Cañada Honda, 600 m.

Vernacular Names: San Juan Tuco-tuco.

Distribution: S San Juan Prov., Argentina.

Discussion: Originally described as a subspecies of coludo by Thomas (1921) but Cabrera (1961) and Woods (1993) included coludo and johannis in fulvus . Contreras et al. (1977) considered these forms provisionally distinct and Nowak (1999) and Galliari et al. (1996) considered johannis a distinct species. Contreras et al. (1977) corrected the elevation of the type locality to 600 m and suggested a close relationship with validus .
