- Abstract
Cerradomys akroai is a recently described rodent species, known from two localities in the Brazilian Cerrado, in southeastern Tocantins state (type locality), and in southwestern Piauí state. Herein we add a third locality recorded from a specimen collected in central Tocantins state, in a "cerrado sensu stricto" habitat. Morphological and molecular analyses confirm the identification. The three localities now known for the species are restricted to northern Cerrado domain, and two are located in sites severely impacted by anthropogenic activities. Current conservation category of Cerradomys akroai is Data Deficient, and additional information on its distribution and biology is required.
