Abrotrichini
Abrotrichini, also known as the Andean clade or southern Andean clade,Musser and Carleton, 2005, p. 1087 is a tribe of rodents in the subfamily Sigmodontinae.D'Elía et al., 2007, p. 188 It includes about fifteen species in four genera,Musser and Carleton, 2005 distributed in South America from southern Peru to southernmost South America, including the Patagonian steppes. The earliest known fossils are from the Pliocene of Argentina. Taxonomy Abrotrichines were universally placed in the tribe Akodontini until the 1990s, and some were even classified within the genus ''Akodon''. Allozyme studies in the early 1990s first provided evidence for their distinction from Akodontini, and in 1999 a study analyzing sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome ''b'' gene found further evidence for the distinction between Akodontini and this group and proposed the name Abrotrichini for the latter.Smith and Patton, 1999, p. 106 The name Abrotrichini remained formally unavailable u ...
