Abstract
A new species of Akodon is described using cranial, dental, and external morphology and morphometric data. The new species inhabits an isolated, ecotonal, montane forest-grassland area in central Tucuman Province, Argentina. This species, which appears to be closely related to A. puer caenosus , is here included in the boliviensis group of akodont rodents. Comparisons are made with A. spegazzinii and A. puer caenosus , which are found in the general area and are of similar body size and general morphology.
