COMMENTS: Revised as part of Zygodontomys ( Hershkovitz, 1962) . Inclusion of lasiurus within Bolomys (or Akodon ), not Zygodontomys , supported by karyological and morphological information (see Gardner and Patton, 1976; Maia and Langguth, 1981; Voss and Linzey, 1981). Geographic variation assessed by Macêdo and Mares (1987), who retained only l. fuscinus and I. lasiurus as subspecies. They further placed lenguarum, a form tentatively retained as a species by Reig (1987) and Anderson and Olds (1989), in synonymy under B. I. lasiurus .
