Hist., ser. 6, 18:307 . TYPE LOCALITY: Argentina , La Rioja Prov., Chilecito, 1200 m . DISTRIBUTION: Atlantic-facing Andean slopes at intermediate elevations. El Salta to Neuquen Prov. , NW Argentina ; limits poorly documented. COMMENTS: Mares et al. (1981 b , 1989b ) noted the morphological, distributional, and ecological distinction of E. moreni and E. puerulus in El Salta Prov. , Argentina . The differentiation of moreni from morgani in the S Andes and from typus in the Pampas warrants further study.
