          Abstract

          Calomys laucha (Fischer, 1814) es un pequeño roedor filotino (<20 g), ampliamente distribuido desde el norte de Paraguay y el sureste de Bolivia hasta el sur de Brasil, Uruguay y el centro de Argentina. En esta contribución, ofrecemos una actualización sobre la composición genética de esta especie. Nuestros resultados apoyan hallazgos previos que indican que la especie está compuesta por dos clados principales, uno que abarca las poblaciones del sur de Brasil, Uruguay y la Mesopotamia argentina y otro que incluye las del resto de Argentina, Bolivia y Paraguay. Los límites entre ambos grupos parecen estar relacionados con los ríos Paraná- Paraguay, que actuarían como barrera geográfica. Al igual que en otras especies de mamíferos descritas por Félix de Azara, la localidad tipo de C. laucha es incierta. Autores previos la restringieron al este de Paraguay, basándose parcialmente en interpretaciones históricas erróneas. Esta restricción es inapropiada, porque según nuestro conocimiento actual, solo C. tener estaría presente allí. Para estabilizar la taxonomía de C. laucha hemos designado un neotipo para este taxón, fijando con este acto su terra typica a una localidad en el norte de la provincia de Buenos Aires, centro-este de Argentina.

          Translated abstract

          Calomys laucha (Fischer, 1814) is a small phyllotine rodent (<20 g), broadly distributed from northern Paraguay and southeastern Bolivia to southern Brazil, Uruguay and central Argentina. We provide an update on the genetic composition of this species. Our results support previous findings and indicate that C. laucha is composed of two main clades, one encompassing populations of southern Brazil, Uruguay and the Argentinean Mesopotamia, and another including those from the remainder of the distribution in Argentina, Bolivia and Paraguay. The boundary between these groups appears to converge along the Paraná-Paraguay rivers, which we presume act as a geographic barrier. As in other species of mammals described by Félix de Azara, the type locality of C. laucha is uncertain. Previous authors restricted it to eastern Paraguay based partially on historical misinterpretations. This restriction is inappropriate because currently only Calomys tener is recorded there. To stabilize the taxonomy of C. laucha we designate a neotype for the species, fixing with this act its terra typica to a locality in northern Buenos Aires province, in central-eastern Argentina.
