Akodon boliviensis, also known as the Bolivian grass mouse [1] or Bolivian akodont, [2] is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. It is found in the Andes from southeastern Peru through Bolivia into northwestern Argentina. [3]
Akodon is a genus consisting of South American grass mice. They mostly occur south of the Amazon Basin and along the Andes north to Venezuela, but are absent from much of the basin itself, the far south of the continent, and the lowlands west of the Andes. Akodon is one of the most species-rich genera of Neotropical rodents. Species of Akodon are known to inhabit a variety of habitats from tropical and tropical moist forests to altiplano and desert. Fossils are known from the late Pliocene onwards.
Akodon aerosus, also known as the highland grass mouse or Yungas akodont, is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. It is found in the eastern Andes from eastern Ecuador through Peru into central Bolivia.
Akodon albiventer, also known as the white-bellied grass mouse or white-bellied akodont, is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. It is found in the Andean highlands from southeastern Peru to southwestern Bolivia, northwestern Argentina, and far northeastern Chile at elevations from 2400 m to over 5000 m.
Akodon budini, also known as Budin's akodont or Budin's grass mouse, is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. It is found in the Andes of northwestern Argentina and adjacent Bolivia. The species is named after Emilio Budin, an Argentine specimen collector who worked with Oldfield Thomas.

Akodon spegazzinii, also known as Spegazzini's akodont or Spegazzini's grass mouse, is a rodent in the genus Akodon found in northwestern Argentina. It occurs in grassland and forest at 400 to 3,500 m above sea level. After the species was first named in 1897, several other names were given to various populations now included in A. spegazzinii. They are now all recognized as part of a single, widespread and variable species. Akodon spegazzinii is related to Akodon boliviensis and other members of the A. boliviensis species group. It reproduces year-round. Because it is widely distributed and common, Akodon spegazzinii is listed as "least concern" on the IUCN Red List.

Akodon caenosus is a rodent in the genus Akodon found in northwestern Argentina and south-central Bolivia. Since its description in 1918, it has been alternatively classified as a separate species or a subspecies of Akodon lutescens. The species Akodon aliquantulus, described from some very small Argentine specimens in 1999, is now recognized as a synonym of A. caenosus.
