Ann. Carnegie Mus. 49: 335, fig. 2 (5 Sept)

 Comments. Holotype CM 67067, taken at 5-7 km W Es- 

 tancia Juan de Zalazar, Depto. Presidente Hayes, Paraguay

LAGOMORPHA 

 Ochotonidae 



Lagomys ater Eversmann, 1 842 



Addenda ad Celeberrimi Pallasii Zoographiam Rosso- 

 Asiaticam, Fasc. 3:3. 



Material. Possible paralectotype (see below), ZFMK 

 88.64, juvenile female, mount and skull (extracted in 

 1988); Russia, Altai, sold by J.G.W. Brandt 1851 to the 

 Zoologial Institute Heidelberg (No. 391), exchanged in 

 1988. 



Current name. Ochotona alpina atra (Eversmann, 1842) 

 or Ochotona a. alpina (Pallas, 1773); see Lissovsky 

 (2003). 



Comments. Johann Georg Wilhelm Brandt (1794-1856) 

 opened a warehouse for natural history specimens in Ham- 

 burg in 1827. He had world-wide connections to travel- 

 ers and collectors (Stresemann 1967). It is likely, but not 

 certain, that he purchased specimens from Eduard Evers- 

 mann (1794-1860), a German explorer and scientist who 

 held a professorship at the University of Kazan in Russia 

 for several decades and who sold specimens to German 

 museums such as the Berlin Museum (Gebhard 1964). 

 Lagomys ater was collected in the Altai Mountains, as stat- 

 ed on the label of the ZFMK specimen. Lissovsky (2003) 

 discussed the status of the Altai pika Ochotona alpina (Pal- 

 las, 1773) and the type locality and type series of O. a. 

 atra (Eversmann, 1842). There are three specimens of 

 Ochotona a. atra collected by Eversmann in 1841 in the 

 ZIN. Yakhontov & Formozov (1992) designated ZIN 

 84398 as lectotype, and the other two specimens are para- 

 lectotypes. Provided that Eversmann distributed other 

 specimens from his type series among German museums, 

 ZFMK 88.64 could be a further paralectotype.
