Akodon (Akodon) reigi González, Langguth, and Oliveira 1998

Akodon (Akodon) reigi González, Langguth, and Oliveira 1998, Comun. Zool. Mus . Hist. Nat. Montevideo, 12 (191): 2.

Type Locality: Uruguay, Lavalleja Dept., Paso Averias; 33º60′S, 54º40′W.

Vernacular Names: Reig's Akodont.

Distribution: Gallery forests of E Uruguay and extreme S Brazil (Rio Grande do Sul).

Discussion: Subgenus Akodon, A. cursor species group sensu Rieger et al. (1995) . Principally contrasted to A. cursor and A. serrensis; see remarks by González et al. (1998) on karyotype (2n = 44) and misattributed reports of this new species as A. serrensis . Status and distributional limits with regard to A. mystax and especially A. paranaensis deserve careful review (see those accounts and discussion by Pardiñas et al., 2003 a).
