Abstract

TETA, Pablo; D'ELIA, Guillermo  and  PARDINAS, Ulyses F. J.. Graomys hypogaeus Cabrera, 1934 is a synonym of Eligmodontia moreni (Thomas, 1896). Mastozool. neotrop. [online]. 2010, vol.17, n.1, pp.201-205. ISSN 0327-9383.

We studied the holotype of Graomys hypogaeus Cabrera, 1934, a putative species of Eligmodontia according to previous authors. Based on morphology and metrics we concluded that G. hypogaeus must be considered as a junior synonym of Eligmodontia moreni (Thomas, 1896), a species widely distributed in west-central Argentina.

Keywords : Argentina; Catamarca; Cricetidae; Phyllotini; Rodentia.
