Lundomys molitor (Winge 1887) View in CoL
[Hesperomys] molitor Winge 1887 , E Museo Lundii, Vol. 1, 3: 14.
Type Locality: Brazil, Minas Gerais State, cave chamber ("Lapa da Escrivania Nr. 5") near Lagoa Santa.
Vernacular Names: Lund's Amphibious Rat.
Synonyms: Lundomys magnus Hershkovitz 1955 .
Distribution: SE Brazil and Uruguay.
Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc) as Holochilus magnus .
Discussion: Species originally described based on fossils from Recent cave deposits in Minas Gerais, Brazil. Extant populations (described as Holochilus magnus Hershkovitz, 1955 ) apparently restricted to Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, and Uruguay (González, 2000 b; Olrog and Lucero, 1981), but Pleistocene fossils known from EC Argentina (Pardiñas, 2000 b). Banded karyotypic comparisons with H. brasiliensis presented by Freitas et al. (1983 a, as H. magnus ); synonymy of magnus demonstrated by Voss and Carleton (1993); González (2000 b) recognized magnus as a subspecies for Uruguayan populations.
