[Mus] azarae Fischer 1829 , Synopsis Mamm.: 325.
Type Locality: Argentina, Entre Ríos Prov., about 30°30'S latitude between the Uruguay and Paraná Rivers.
Vernacular Names: Azara's Akodont.
Synonyms: Akodon (Akodon) arenicola (Waterhouse 1837) ; Akodon (Akodon) bibianae Massoia 1971 ; Akodon (Akodon) hunteri Thomas 1917 .
Distribution: NE and EC Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, and extreme S Brazil.

Discussion: Subgenus Akodon , A. boliviensis species group ( Hershkovitz, 1990 c). Olrog and Lucero (1981) maintained arenicola as a species distinct from A. azarae , but karyotypic and other data support their union ( Vitullo et al., 1986; Ximenez et al., 1972). Species documented in the early-middle Pleistocene of Argentina by Pardiñas (1993), who discussed its biogeographic implications.
