Akodon bogotensis Thomas, 1895 . Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 6, 16:369.

TYPE LOCALITY: Colombia, Cundinamarca, Dept., Bogota region, 8750 ft .

DISTRIBUTION: Andes of W Venezuela, E and C Colombia.

COMMENTS: Subgenus Microxus . As noted by Patton et al. (1989), generic-level representation of the divergence of Microxus from Akodon is more often based on traits of the species bogotensis , not the type species of Microxus (= Oxymycterus mimus ). The status of bogotensis , together with that of latebricola , deserves reconsideration with respect to A. mimus (see comments therein) and other Akodon . Also see Reig (1987) and Voss and Linzey (1981).
