CHRISTIE, Miguel I  y  PARDINAS, Ulyses F. J. Localidades típicas de micromamíferos en Patagonia: el viaje de Hatcher a la meseta del Lago Buenos Aires, Santa Cruz, Argentina. Mastozool. neotrop. [online]. 2016, vol.23, n.2, pp.533-541. ISSN 0327-9383.

On the basis of a reconstruction of J. B. Hatcher y E. A. Colburn’s 1898 expedition to Patagonia’s Lake Buenos Aires region and intervening areas (Santa Cruz, Argentina), we discuss the geographic provenance of the holotypes of the rodents Eligmodontia morgani J. Allen, 1901 (Cricetidae) and Ctenomys colburni J. Allen, 1903 (Ctenomyidae). Type localities for both taxa have been the subject of debate, and new information allows us to restrict their location. Additionally, we provide geographic information about other mammals documented by them, most notably the Huemul (Hippocamelus bisulcus).
