Phyllotis magister Thomas 1912
Phyllotis magister Thomas 1912 , Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 8, 10: 406.
Type Locality: Perú, Arequipa Dept., Arequipa, 2300 m.
Vernacular Names: Majestic Pericote.
Distribution: Upper Pacific slopes of Andes from C Perú (see Arana-Cardó and Ascorra, 1994) to N Chile.
Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).
Discussion: Hershkovitz (1962) treated magister as a subspecies of P. darwini , a rank inconsistent with records of sympatry ( Pearson, 1958) and karyotypic differences ( Pearson, 1972; Pearson and Patton, 1976). Pearson (1958) arranged definitus as a subspecies of P. magister but later (1972) supported its specific status. Intestinal area and volume compared with P. xanthopygus and related to dietary differences ( Lagos and Bozinovic, 1999).
