An appraisal of the species richness of the Ctenomys mendocinus species group (Rodentia: Ctenomyidae), with the description of two new species from the Andean slopes of west-central Argentina

The genus Ctenomys of subterranean rodents is one of the most species-rich genera of Mammalia, with 66 living species currently recognized. However, the taxonomy of the genus is dynamic with several new species and new synonymies proposed during the last decade. One of the species groups that have u...

description The genus Ctenomys of subterranean rodents is one of the most species-rich genera of Mammalia, with 66 living species currently recognized. However, the taxonomy of the genus is dynamic with several new species and new synonymies proposed during the last decade. One of the species groups that have undergone more changes in contents in the last years is the Ctenomys mendocinus species group. Here, based on phylogenetic analysis of mitochondrial DNA sequences and qualitative and quantitative morphological evidence, we conducted an appraisal of the species richness of tuco-tucos of the C. mendocinus species group, describing two new species from west-central Argentina. The new taxa are morphometrically distinctive when compared with other geographically or phylogenetically close species of the genus, showing qualitative differences in their craniodental anatomy. One of the new species is known from the eastern Andean slopes of La Rioja and San Juan provinces, occurring on montane grasslands and shrublands above 3,500 m a.s.l., while the other is endemic of southwestern Mendoza province, occurring on montane grasslands and shrublands between 2,400–2,700 m a.s.l. In addition, we include for the first time the nominal forms C. fochi and C. validus in a phylogenetic analysis of the genus Ctenomys, showing that both correspond to the C. mendocinus species group, being the second a junior synonym of C. mendocinus. Finally, we made some comments about other candidate species within this species group as well as highlight issues that need to be addressed to gain a robust picture of the specific richness of Ctenomys.
