Akodon olivaceus
October 24- Bariloche. Caught two females at Lago Gutierrez. Both were
pregnant, bot had small simple ovaries with appropriate numbers of pink
corpora lutea to match the number of fetuses. The vaginas were not as wide
and tough as longipilis. See pickled ones for comparison with longipilis.
Hence, no evidence from the female UG tract that olivaceus is an Abrothrix.
When handled on two different occasions, both of these olivaceus
squeaked, whereas longipilis does not. One of them had one or more liver
cysts.
December 9 - Lago Guillermo. 100 traps in cana/nire and lots of tall green grass
caught 4 olivaceus. One not saved:
M 130 39 22 13.5 11.5g Testis 6mm, white; epidid tubes not
visible. SV 2mm. No zoa in smear of epidid.
December 12 - Rio Casa de Piedra F 170 75 22.5 16 25g
Vagina not open. Nipples medium large, no milk. Uterus with faint scars - 2
right, 2 left. Vagina 2mm. Right ovary, 6 CL, various stages of pinkness;
left ovary, 8 CL oof different sdtages of pinkness. pelvis open.
