Akodon (Akodon) dolores Thomas 1916 , Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 8, 18: 324.

Type Locality: Argentina, Córdoba Prov., near Villa Dolores, Yacanto , 900 m.

Vernacular Names: Cordoba Akodont.

Distribution: C Argentina (Catamarca, Córdoba, and Santiago del Estero).

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: Subgenus Akodon , A. varius species group (Myers, 1989). Considered closely related to A. molinae ( Bianchi et al., 1979; Myers, 1989; Wittouck et al., 1995), if not conspecific with it ( Hershkovitz, 1990 c), but karyological differences (2n = 34-40 in A. dolores versus 42-44 in A. molinae ) and generally non-overlapping distributions suggest distinctive species, as clarified by Tiranti (1998 b).
