A new species was recently described to the akodontine genus Deltamys Thomas, 1917, based on animals collected in Araucaria forest, Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil. Quintela et al. (2017) described Deltamys araucaria on the basis of the integration of morphological, chromosomal, and molecular characters analysis. Here I correct and/or emend critical aspects of this paper, including the type locality, diagnostic characters, and the appropriate recognition of earlier literature on this same taxon. My aim in this note is not to criticize this important new contribution but to facilitate future communication among researchers.
最近，基于在巴西南里奥格兰德州南洋杉森林中收集到的动物，一个新物种被描述归入了阿科东鼠属（Deltamys），该属由托马斯于1917年建立。昆特拉等人（2017年）通过整合形态学、染色体和分子特征分析，描述了南洋杉阿科东鼠（Deltamys araucaria）。在此，我对该论文的关键方面进行了修正和/或补充，包括模式产地、鉴别特征以及对同一分类单元早期文献的恰当认识。我写这篇短文的目的不是批评这一重要的新贡献，而是促进研究人员之间未来的交流。
