Necromys punctulatus Thomas 1894 View in CoL

Necromys punctulatus Thomas 1894 View in CoL , Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 6, 14: 361.

Type Locality: Ecuador.

Vernacular Names: Ecuadoran Akodont.

Distribution: Indeterminate area of E Ecuador and perhaps Colombia.

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc) as Bolomys punctulatus .

Discussion: Described as a species of Akodon but referred to a subspecies of Zygodontomys brevicauda by Hershkovitz (1962). Thomas (1916c) had earlier appreciated the morphological resemblance between amoenus, type species of Bolomys , and punctulatus; Voss (1991b) later amplified the Bolomys-like traits of punctulatus, provisionally retaining it as a species and noting its similarity to lasiurus. The enigmatic distribution of the few fragmentary specimens assignable to punctulatus, which originate from a region outside of the core geographic range of Bolomys (= Necromys ), is discussed by Voss (1991b).
