Treatment

Calomys sorellus Thomas 1900 , Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 7, 6: 297.

Type Locality: Perú, Libertad Dept., 8 mi (13 km) S Huamachuco, 3500 m.

Discussion: Classified as a subspecies of C. lepidus (Cabrera, 1961) ; discrimination from and sympatry with C. lepidus documented by Hershkovitz (1962), who relegated frida and miurus to synonymy under C. sorellus (also see Pearson and Patton, 1976).
