Abrocoma boliviensis Glanz & Anderson, 1990: 23

Holotype: BMNH 34.9.2.171, ♀, skin and skull, obtained by F.B. Steinbach on 14 October 1926.
Type locality: “Comarapa, "2500 m", province of Manual M. Caballero, department of Santa Cruz, Bolivia; 17°54'S and 64°29'W. Since Comarapa is at 1815 m (Atlas Censal de Bolivia), some uncertainty about the exact place of origin exists. The terrain reaches 2500 m within a few kilometers to the north, west, and south of the town of Comarapa”.
