description: Background: Native (NVE) and prosthetic (PVE) aortic valve endocarditis (AVE) remain a surgical challenge with an ongoing trend towards more complex surgical procedures. Methods: First-time NVE was compared with PVE, focusing on pathogens, risk factors, perioperative course, postoperative follow-up, including recurrent infection, as well as health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Results: From 2007 to 2022, surgical intervention for AVE was necessary in 231 patients with 233 episodes of infective aortic valve endocarditis, i.e., there were only two cases of reinfection (NVE group). The study group consisted of 130 cases with NVE and 103 with PVE. Overall, a median of 40.3% of survivors were in NYHA class I or II. In-hospital mortality was higher in the PVE group with 13.3%. The most common pathogen was Staphylococcus aureus, with 24.9% across both groups. EuroSCORE II was higher in the PVE group (19.0 ± 14.3% total, NVE 11.1 ± 8.1%, PVE 27.8 ± 14.6%; p < 0.05), reflecting an older, more co-morbid patient cohort. Abscess formation was also more common in the PVE group, while vegetations were more common in the NVE group. The 5-year and 10-year survival rates did not differ significantly between NVE and PVE and were 74.4% and 52.2% for the NVE group, respectively, and 67.4% and 52.9% for the PVE group, respectively. The HRQOL as assessed by the Minnesota Living with HF Questionnaire (MLHFQ) demonstrated no significant difference between both groups. Conclusions: Long-term survival and QoL after surgical treatment of infective aortic valve endocarditis are excellent and do not depend on the type of replacement.

description: Festivals can only be understood if one reflects with a philosophical eye on the data made available through cultural anthropology. Celebrating is a uniquely human phenomenon concerning the fundamental structures of personal existence. Among such structures, the essay focuses on the relationality that is evident in all festivals. During festivals, one practices relational virtues. The essay addresses piety, liberality, and gratitude. Today, many speak of the crisis of festivals. In order to evaluate the authenticity of festivals, it is helpful to examine whether relational virtues are safeguarded and practiced in the festival. Authentic festivals strengthen social bonds and develop an awareness of the identity of the social community.

description: The moisture content of the human skin, but also the loss of water through the skin, the transepidermal water loss (TEWL), plays a significant role in the skin’s health. Various medical indications require the use of a wound dressing. However, how the skin environment changes under a wound dressing has not yet been sufficiently investigated. Skin moisture and TEWL values were measured in 20 healthy volunteers before and after the application of a total of 23 different wound dressings distributed over the back. Significant changes in the parameters from day 1 to day 2 were tested. Wound dressings change the underlying skin environment. Occlusive dressings significantly increase skin hydration and TEWL. The findings could contribute to quantitative analysis and monitoring of topical-wound therapy in the future.

description: Cells constantly face the challenge of managing oxidants. In aerobic organisms, oxygen (O2) is used for energy production, generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) as byproducts of enzymatic reactions. To protect against oxidative damage, cells possess an intricate system of redox scavengers and antioxidant enzymes, collectively forming the antioxidant defense system. This system maintains the redox equilibrium and enables the generation of localized oxidative signals that regulate essential cellular functions. One key component of this defense is the thioredoxin (Trx) system, which includes Trx, thioredoxin reductase (TrxR), and NADPH. The Trx system reverses oxidation of macromolecules and indirectly neutralizes ROS via peroxiredoxin (Prx). This dual function protects cells from damage accumulation and supports physiological cell signaling. However, the Trx system also shields tumors from oxidative damage, aiding their survival. Due to elevated ROS levels from their metabolism, tumors often rely on the Trx system. In addition, the Trx system regulates critical pathways such as proliferation and neoangiogenesis, which tumors exploit to enhance growth and optimize nutrient and oxygen supply. Consequently, the Trx system is a potential target for cancer therapy. The challenge lies in selectively targeting malignant cells without disrupting the redox equilibrium in healthy cells. The aim of this review article is threefold: first, to elucidate the function of the Trx system; second, to discuss the Trx system as a potential target for cancer therapies; and third, to present the possibilities for inhibiting key components of the Trx system, along with an overview of the latest clinical studies on these inhibitors.

description: The development of vocabulary in preschool children is crucial for their language acquisition and cognitive development. Traditional studies on the age of acquisition (AoA) of words typically rely on adult ratings, which may not accurately reflect the linguistic environment of preschool children. This study explores a novel approach by employing corpus-based analyses to examine word frequency and AoA within Cantonese-speaking preschoolers in Hong Kong. This method provides a more direct insight into the children's linguistic exposure and facilitates a better understanding of their language development.

description: Through the idea of the “re-enchantment of the world,” the essay elaborates and formulates in still preparatory terms the proposal of a deliberately strategic use of images and, more specifically even though not exclusively, of public art in terms of a re-symbolization of the shared public space. Within this framework, images become a powerful, almost mythopoietic element for the creation of new communities within the fragmented contemporary public space. This short essay constitutes an attempt at framing the terms of a question that will receive further elaboration in subsequent contributions.

description: Background: Due to the high frequency of postoperative complications after body-contouring surgeries, the need for a unifying postoperative complication grading system that correlates with outcomes is of key importance. Here we therefore consider the application of the Clavien–Dindo classification to evaluate postoperative complications after body-contouring surgeries. Methods: A retrospective study on 602 patients who underwent body-contouring surgery between 2009 and 2015 at our institution was performed. The length of hospital stays, age, sex, follow-up visits, and postoperative complications were evaluated and classified using the Clavien–Dindo classification. Results: We raised a total of 672 body-contouring procedures on 602 patients (563 female, 39 male). According to the Clavien–Dindo System, the severity of postoperative complications following body-contouring procedures was significantly correlated with the duration of hospitalization (mean 5.8 ± 2.7 days) and the number of follow-up visits (mean 4.4 ± 4.7). Conclusions: The Clavien–Dindo classification offers a valid prediction for postoperative hospital stay and the number of follow-up visits after body-reshaping surgery. By becoming a validated and reliable grading system that correlates patients’ outcomes after body-contouring procedures, this classification has the potential to significantly improve patients’ healthcare and quality of life.

description: In 1869, the twenty-six year old Hermann Cohen held a lecture on the Jewish Sabbath and, more specifically, on its social significance. Cohen showed the enduring value (which cannot be considered as overcome) of the commandment regarding the observance of the Shabbat. Despite its unilateralism and limitations, this youthful work by Cohen appears to be absolutely timely today within a context where the social value of a day of rest equal for all workers is increasingly challenged to the point of being regarded as obsolete. On the contrary, Cohen’s reflections provide excellent arguments for defending the workers’ right to a day of rest equal for all – even (developing Cohen’s reflections beyond the letter of their text), a true right to holidays.

Vernacular Names: Argentine Akodont.
Distribution: Isolated populations in Córdoba, La Pampa, and Buenos Aires provinces, EC Argentina.
Discussion: Relegated to a subspecies of obscurus by Cabrera (1961) and Reig (1978), but Massoia and Fornes (1967) considered the two as distinct species. Distribution documented based on vouchered specimens and clear morphological segregation from N. obscurus underscored by Galliari and Pardiñas (2000). The latter authors regarded the fossil conifer Ameghino as the probable senior synonym for this species but elected to retain benefactus Thomas as the valid name for reasons of familiarity; the possibility of their synonymy requires firm demonstration, with formal suppression of or replacement by the senior name if so.

description: Predictor screening rules, which discard predictors before fitting a model, have had considerable impact on the speed with which sparse regression problems, such as the lasso, can be solved. In this paper we present a new screening rule for solving the lasso path: the Hessian Screening Rule. The rule uses second-order information from the model to provide both effective screening, particularly in the case of high correlation, as well as accurate warm starts. The proposed rule outperforms all alternatives we study on simulated data sets with both low and high correlation for $\ell_1$-regularized least-squares (the lasso) and logistic regression. It also performs best in general on the real data sets that we examine.

description: The lasso is a popular method to induce shrinkage and sparsity in the solution vector (coefficients) of regression problems, particularly when there are many predictors relative to the number of observations. Solving the lasso in this high-dimensional setting can, however, be computationally demanding. Fortunately, this demand can be alleviated via the use of screening rules that discard predictors prior to fitting the model, leading to a reduced problem to be solved. In this paper, we present a new screening strategy: look-ahead screening. Our method uses safe screening rules to find a range of penalty values for which a given predictor cannot enter the model, thereby screening predictors along the remainder of the path. In experiments we show that these look-ahead screening rules outperform the active warm-start version of the Gap Safe rules.

description: Purpose: This study aims to conduct an epidemiological investigation into the types and causes of injuries during CrossFit® training
in Germany.
Patients and Methods: Voluntary athletes from various German CrossFit® gyms participated, providing personal information,
training habits, and details on injuries through a standardized questionnaire.
Results: The study involved 308 participants, with an equal sex split, a peak age of 20–40, and a BMI of 24.3 ± 3.3 kg/m2. Most
participants trained for over two years (49.4%), primarily in supervised groups. Motivations for engaging in CrossFit® included health
prevention (33.1%), athletic training (32.8%), and work-life balance support (17%). Injuries were reported by 28.6% of participants,
with 61.4% experiencing single injuries. The majority of injuries (55.3%) occurred during the middle of workouts. Injury types
included wounds (23.3%), contusions, sprains, or strains (cumulative 30.8%), and fractures (2.9%). Almost all injured individuals
(96.5%) had a time-loss injury, with a return to sport ranging from a day to over three months. Treatments varied, with 50.6% not
requiring medical intervention, 34.1% undergoing physiotherapy, 21.2% receiving medication and 8.2% needing surgery. Barbell
exercises, notably Snatch and Clean, were main exercises with association to injuries, accounting for 36.3%. The Box Jump stood out
as the exercise with the highest isolated injury prevalence (14.3%). Notable injury causes included falls during Pull-Ups and lumbar
disc herniation linked to Deadlifts. Following injuries, 45.8% of participants made training adjustments.
Conclusion: This study provides an epidemiological investigation into the types and causes of injuries during CrossFit® training in
Germany. The shoulder and knee joint exhibited the highest injury prevalence. Barbell exercises, box jumps, and bar pull-ups were
identified as major exercises with association to injuries. Prevention through technical training and the incorporation of soft boxes
could reduce the risk of injuries in CrossFit®.

Type Locality: Argentina, Jujuy Prov., León, about 1500 m.
Vernacular Names: White-chinned Akodont.
Synonyms: Necromys negrito (Thomas 1926); Necromys orbus (Thomas 1919).
Distribution: E Andean highlands, about 2100-4000 m, of SC Bolivia (see Anderson and Olds, 1989) and NW Argentina (Jujuy, Salta, Catamarca, and Tucumán Provs.; see Ortiz et al., 2000 a).
Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc) as Bolomys lactens.
Discussion: Galliari and Pardiñas (1995) reidentified leucolimnaeus, previously considered a subspecies of lactens (Cabrera, 1961; Gyldenstolpe, 1932), as a species of Akodon and questioned (2000:226) the synonymy of negrito and orbus, as attributed by Cabrera (1961), as "dubious." Capllonch et al. (1997) had resurrected N. orbus based on a single specimen from Tucumán Prov., but Pardiñas and Galliari (1998 b) considered the action to be inadequately documented.

OCCURRENCE. — La Pola Formation, Upper Ordovician, Sandbian; La Pola creek section near Albardon village, San Juan Province, Argentine Precordillera, western Argentina.
DESCRIPTION
Massive colony, 6.2-6.4 mm in thickness, with indistinct endozone. Autozooecia growing from epitheca at high angles. Autozooecia in outer exozone often developing from mesozooecia. Autozooecial diaphragms common to rare, planar, curved proximally, irregularly spaced in autozooecia. Mesozooecia common, up to 3 surrounding each autozooecial aperture, bearing abundant straight diaphragms. Autozooecial walls fine fibrous microstructure, 0.005 -0.010 mm thick in endozone and 0.02-0.03 mm thick in exozone.
COMPARISON
Diplotrypa sp. A is similar to Diplotrypa catenulata Coryell, 1921 from the Sandbian of United States. Coryell [1921: 296] gave only the spacing of 4-4.5 apertures per 2 mm (distance from centre to centre 0.44-0.50 mm), which is more than double as large as the aperture spacing of the present material (average distance from centre to centre 0.22 mm). Size of apertures for Diplotrypa catenulata recorded by Astrova (1965: 185-186) from the Middle Ordovician of Arctic, was given as 0.42-0.75 mm (with macrozooecia of 0.9-1.0 mm width). Diplotrypa sp. A is similar to D. pusilla Astrova, 1965 from the Lower Ordovician of the Russian Arctic, but differs from it by less abundant diaphragms in autozooecia.

description: Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) devices generate reactive oxygen and nitrogen species,
have antimicrobial and antiviral properties, but also affect the molecular and cellular mechanisms of
eukaryotic cells. The aim of this study is to investigate CAP treatment in the upper respiratory tract
(URT) to reduce the incidence of ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (especially superinfections
with multi-resistant pathogens) or viral infections (e.g., COVID-19). For this purpose, the surfacemicrodischarge-
based plasma intensive care (PIC) device was developed by terraplasma medical
GmbH. This study analyzes the safety aspects using in vitro assays and molecular characterization
of human oral keratinocytes (hOK), human bronchial–tracheal epithelial cells (hBTE), and human
lung fibroblasts (hLF). A 5 min CAP treatment with the PIC device at the “throat” and “subglottis”
positions in the URT model did not show any significant differences from the untreated control (ctrl.)
and the corresponding pressurized air (PA) treatment in terms of cell morphology, viability, apoptosis,
DNA damage, and migration. However, pro-inflammatory cytokines (MCP-1, IL-6, and TNFα) were
induced in hBTE and hOK cells and profibrotic molecules (collagen-I, FKBP10, and αSMA) in hLF
at the mRNA level. The use of CAP in the oropharynx may make an important contribution to the
recovery of intensive care patients. The results indicate that a 5 min CAP treatment in the URT with
the PIC device does not cause any cell damage. The extent to which immune cell activation is induced
and whether it has long-term effects on the organism need to be carefully examined in follow-up
studies in vivo.

43 healthy controls. In contrast, triglyceride (TG) levels were elevated in patients. ApoA-IV levels
in plasma of the patients did not correlate with these lipids. Patients with SIRS, sepsis or septic
shock had comparable apoA-IV, TG, CE and free cholesterol (FC) levels. Patients on dialysis had
significantly lower CE levels, whereas apoA-IV levels did not change much. CE levels were elevated
in patients with viral sepsis due to SARS-CoV-2 infection in comparison to SIRS/sepsis patients not
infected by this virus. CE levels correlated negatively with procalcitonin, interleukin-6 and bilirubin,
while TGs were positively associated with bilirubin and C-reactive protein. ApoA-IV, TG, CE and FC
levels were not associated with bacterial infection or survival. In conclusion, this analysis suggests
that CE levels decline in sepsis-related renal failure and also shows that plasma apoA-IV and CE
levels are early biomarkers of sepsis.

description: Geometric phase is a key player in many areas of quantum science and technology. In this review article, several foundational aspects of quantum geometric phases and their relations to classical geometric phases are outlined. How the Aharonov--Bohm and Sagnac effects fit into this context is then discussed. Moreover, a concise overview of technological applications of the latter, with special emphasis on gravitational sensing, like in gyroscopes and gravitational wave detectors is presented.

description: Necromys lasiurus (Lund 1840)
[Necromys] lasiurus (Lund 1840), K. Dansk. Vid. Selsk. Naturv. Math. Afhandl., 8: 50.
Type Locality: Brazil, Minas Gerais State, Rio das Velhas, Lagoa Santa.
Vernacular Names: Hairy-tailed Akodont.
Synonyms: Necromys arviculoides (Wagner 1842); Necromys brachyurus (Wagner 1845); Necromys fuscinus (Thomas 1897); Necromys lasiotus (Lund 1838); Necromys orobinus (Wagner 1842); Necromys pixuna (Moojen 1943); Necromys renggeri (Pictet 1844).
Distribution: C Brazil south of the Amazon River, extreme SE Perú (as per Pacheco et al., 1995), and perhaps NE Argentina (see Galliari et al., 1996); limits uncertain.
Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc) as Bolomys lasiurus.
Discussion: Revised as part of Zygodontomys (Hershkovitz, 1962); inclusion of lasiurus within Bolomys (or Akodon), not Zygodontomys, supported by karyological and morphological information (see Gardner and Patton, 1976; Maia and Langguth, 1981; Voss and Linzey, 1981). Geographic variation assessed, as Bolomys lasiurus, by Macêdo and Mares (1987), who retained only fuscinus and lasiurus as subspecies. The validity of listed synonyms very much needs confirmation: e.g., the taxon arviculoides is considered a species by some (Cabrera, 1961; Gyldenstolpe, 1932; Ximénez & Langguth, 1970), or reallocated to lasiurus by others (Macêdo and Mares, 1987; Reig, 1978, 1987), while Galliari and Pardiñas (2000) passingly mention it as another species related to N. obscurus. Also see following account of N. lenguarum, included by some (e.g., Macêdo and Mares, 1987) as another junior synonym; morphological discrimination and distributional limits of the two forms require refinement.

description: We consider the Grothendieck polynomials appearing in the K-theory of Grassmannians, which are analogs of Schur polynomials. This paper aims to establish a version of the Murnaghan-Nakayama rule for Grothendieck polynomials of the Grassmannian type. This rule allows us to express the product of a Grothendieck polynomial with a power sum symmetric polynomial into a linear combination of other Grothendieck polynomials.

Synonyms: Necromys tapiropoanus (J. A. Allen 1916).
Distribution: Chacoan formations of E Bolivia, W Paraguay, and possibly N Argentina (see Galliari et al., 1996).
Discussion: Taxonomic status unresolved—demoted to subspecies under Akodon obscurus (Cabrera, 1961) or placed in full synonymy with Bolomys l. lasiurus (Macêdo and Mares, 1987), or generally if equivocally recognized as a species (Anderson, 1997; Anderson and Olds, 1989; Galliari and Pardiñas, 2000; Reig, 1987). Anderson (1997) maintained tapiropoanus, type locality in Mato Grosso, W Brazil, as a subspecies for Bolivian populations. Also see remarks under N. lasiurus.

description: Background: Recent studies provide increasing evidence for a relevant role of lifestyle factors including diet in the pathogenesis of neuroinflammatory diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS). While the intake of saturated fatty acids and elevated salt worsen the disease outcome in the experimental model of MS by enhanced inflammatory but diminished regulatory immunological processes, sugars as additional prominent components in our daily diet have only scarcely been investigated so far. Apart from glucose and fructose, galactose is a common sugar in the so-called Western diet.

Methods: We investigated the effect of a galactose-rich diet during neuroinflammation using myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein-induced experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (MOG-EAE) as a model disease. We investigated peripheral immune reactions and inflammatory infiltration by ex vivo flow cytometry analysis and performed histological staining of the spinal cord to analyze effects of galactose in the central nervous system (CNS). We analyzed the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) by fluorescence measurements and investigated galactose as well as galactose-induced AGEs in oligodendroglial cell cultures and induced pluripotent stem cell-derived primary neurons (iPNs).

Results: Young mice fed a galactose-rich diet displayed exacerbated disease symptoms in the acute phase of EAE as well as impaired recovery in the chronic phase. Galactose did not affect peripheral immune reactions or inflammatory infiltration into the CNS, but resulted in increased demyelination, oligodendrocyte loss and enhanced neuro-axonal damage. Ex vivo analysis revealed an increased apoptosis of oligodendrocytes isolated from mice adapted on a galactose-rich diet. In vitro, treatment of cells with galactose neither impaired the maturation nor survival of oligodendroglial cells or iPNs. However, incubation of proteins with galactose in vitro led to the formation AGEs, that were increased in the spinal cord of EAE-diseased mice fed a galactose-rich diet. In oligodendroglial and neuronal cultures, treatment with galactose-induced AGEs promoted enhanced cell death compared to control treatment.

Conclusion: These results imply that galactose-induced oligodendrocyte and myelin damage during neuroinflammation may be mediated by AGEs, thereby identifying galactose and its reactive products as potential dietary risk factors for neuroinflammatory diseases such as MS.

[Necromys] obscurus (Waterhouse 1837), Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1837: 16.
Type Locality: Uruguay, Maldonado Dept., Maldonado.
Vernacular Names: Dark-furred Akodont.
Synonyms: Necromys scagliarum Galliari and Pardiñas 2000.
Distribution: Isolated populations along coastal areas in S Uruguay (obscurus) and Buenos Aires Prov., EC Argentina (scagliarum).
Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc) as Bolomys obscurus.
Discussion: Type species of Cabreramys (Massoia and Fornes, 1967), a taxon considered a junior synonym of Bolomys by Reig (1978, 1987) and of Necromys by Massoia and Pardiñas (1993). Formerly contained benefactus as a subspecies (see above account). Geographic variation and allopatric distribution in light of late Pleistocene climatic changes discussed by Galliari and Pardiñas (2000). The strong morphometric differentiation between and probable long-term isolation of the named populations, as demonstrated by the latter authors, recommend reconsideration of their status using other information sources.

description: Biliary complications are still a major cause for morbidity and mortality after liver transplantation (LT). Ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) leads to disruption of the biliary epithelium. We introduce a novel model to study the effect of IRI on human cholangiocytes using extrahepatic cholangiocyte organoids (ECOs). Extrahepatic bile duct tissue was collected during LT at static cold storage and after reperfusion (n = 15); gallbladder tissue was used for controls (n = 5). ECOs (n = 9) were cultured from extrahepatic biliary tissue, with IRI induced in an atmosphere of 95% air (nitrogen), 1% O2 and 5% CO2for 48 h, followed by 24 h of reoxygenation. Qualitative and quantitative histology and qRT-PCR were performed to discern phenotype, markers of hypoxia, programmed cell death and proliferation. ECOs self-organized into circular structures resembling biliary architecture containing cholangiocytes that expressed EpCAM, CK19, LGR5 and SOX-9. After hypoxia, ECOs showed increased expression of VEGF A (p < 0.0001), SLC2A1 (p < 0.0001) and ACSL4 (p < 0.0001) to indicate response to hypoxic damage and subsequent programmed cell death. Increase in cyclin D1 (p < 0.0001) after reoxygenation indicated proliferative activity in ECOs. Therefore, ECO structure and response to IRI are comparable to that found in-vivo, providing a suitable model to study IRI of the bile duct in-vitro.

description: Background/Objectives: Painkiller use in amateur sports and, especially, in football is
increasingly being discussed, but the scientific data on this field are very limited. Therefore, the
aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of painkiller use in amateur football from the
perspective of coaches, as well as to determine how and to which extent coaches can influence
their teams in terms of painkiller use and prevention. Methods: Using an online questionnaire, a
cross-sectional analysis of painkiller use in German amateur football from the 4th league to the lowest
amateur classes was carried out from the perspective of team coaches. A total of 628 participants
were contacted, and 400 (63.7%) completed the questionnaire completely and were therefore included
in the evaluation. Results: Of the 400 participating team coaches in amateur football, 369 (92.3%)
were male and 31 (7.7%) were female. The coaches reported that 36.2% (SD = 29.1) of their players
have used painkillers at some point due to football-related pain in their career. The majority of
coaches believed that the use of painkillers is not compatible with competition (74%), and even more
believed that it is not compatible with football training (90.8%). Furthermore, 56.2% of the coaches
themselves had already taken painkillers in their own football career for football-related pain, and
64% had already bought over-the-counter painkillers without a prescription. The use of painkillers
increased in the higher playing levels. The availability of painkillers in first aid kits was reported
by around 60%, but they were reported as freely accessible in the dressing room by only 10% of the
coaches. Conclusions: This is the first study to describe the painkiller use in amateur football from the
perspective of coaches. The prevalence of painkiller use in this study was found to be significantly
lower than what is indicated in the data from the existing literature. The majority of coaches see the
use of painkillers during games and training as incompatible, even though there is a large proportion
of coaches who have already bought over-the-counter painkillers for football-related pain. As the
first scientific analysis of team coaches, this study provides fundamental data for the prevention of
excessive painkiller use in amateur football.

Necromys punctulatus Thomas 1894, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 6, 14: 361.
Type Locality: Ecuador.
Vernacular Names: Ecuadoran Akodont.
Distribution: Indeterminate area of E Ecuador and perhaps Colombia.
Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc) as Bolomys punctulatus.
Discussion: Described as a species of Akodon but referred to a subspecies of Zygodontomys brevicauda by Hershkovitz (1962). Thomas (1916c) had earlier appreciated the morphological resemblance between amoenus, type species of Bolomys, and punctulatus; Voss (1991b) later amplified the Bolomys-like traits of punctulatus, provisionally retaining it as a species and noting its similarity to lasiurus. The enigmatic distribution of the few fragmentary specimens assignable to punctulatus, which originate from a region outside of the core geographic range of Bolomys (= Necromys), is discussed by Voss (1991b).
