Abstract

Redefining (again) the type locality of Kunsia tomentosus (Litchtenstein, 1830). On the basis of a reinterpretation of the historical evidence, including previously unconsulted literature sources, I restrict the type locality of the sigmodontine rodent Kunsia tomentosus (Lichtenstein, 1830) (Rodentia, Cricetidae) to the municipality of Capão Alto, on the Pelotas River, ca. 54 km SW of the town of Lages (ca. latitude -28.20°, longitude -50.73°).
