Subspecies: :

Subspecies Ctenomys boliviensis subsp. boliviensis Waterhouse 1848

Subspecies Ctenomys boliviensis subsp. nattereri Wagner 1848

Distribution: Santa Cruz Dept. (C Bolivia), Mato Grosso (SW Brazil), W Paraguay, and Formosa Prov., Argentina.

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (nt) as C. nattereri , Lower Risk (lc) as C. boliviensis .

Discussion: Several different karyotypes have been reported including 2n=36, FN=64; 2n=42, FN=64 and 2n=44-45, FN=68 ( Anderson et al., 1987). Anderson et al. (1987) suggested that three or more cryptic species with different karyotypes may be included within this taxon, one of which ( goodfellowi ) was elevated to specific rank ( Anderson, 1997). Anderson et al. (1987) considered nattereri a subspecies of boliviensis but Woods (1993) recognized it as a species without comment.
