S., 23: 8 . Type Locality: Chile , Magallanes Prov. , Isla Capitán Aracena, head of Bahía Morris, 60 m ; 54°14'S , 71°30'W . Vernacular Names: Hershkovitz's Akodont . Distribution: Outer islands of the Chilean Archipelago. Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc) as Akodon hershkovitzi . Discussion: A member of A . ( Akodon ) after Patterson et al. (1984) and also Muñoz Pedreros (2000); subgenus or genus Abrothrix according to Reig (1987) and others (e.g., Pearson and Smith, 1999 ; Smith and Patton, 1999 ). Pearson and Smith (1999) suspected that hershkovitzi will prove to be another synonym of A. olivaceus , including xanthorhinus ; this possibility should be demonstrated rather than assumed in view of the morphological separation presented in its diagnosis ( Patterson et al., 1984 ).
