Just a few nit pick copy editing issues. Otherwise, a fine article if somewhat technical. It is too bad that there is no picture. I assume none is available.
 * "It mostly occurs in Yungas vegetation and breeds mainly during the winter. It occurs with many other sigmodontine rodents, including three other species of Akodon." Repetition of "occurs". I change another one in the first sentence to "found".
 * Changed one.
 * " Oldfield Thomas described the animal as the holotype of a new subspecies of Akodon puer, a Bolivian species. He described the new subspecies Akodon puer cænosus as darker and duller in color than the Bolivian form, but otherwise identical" - repetition of "described".
 * Changed one.
 * "They classified A. caenosus as a species separate from A. lutescens because the two forms did not form a single clade, with A. caenosus instead being recovered closer to A. subfuscus". - is "recovered" the right word here?
 * It is an established technical term here, but the sentence does fine without it, so I struck the word.
 * "in view of the relatively high sequence divergence" - Is there a anything you could link "sequence divergence" to, to clarify for the general reader?
 * No, but I rephrased the sentence to clarify the meaning.

 * Thanks for the review. Some pictures have been published (though only of the skull, I think), but none are free to use. Ucucha 16:12, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
