Abrothrix longipilis, also known as the long-haired grass mouse[1] or long-haired akodont,[2] is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. It is endemic to central Argentina and Chile.[3] Until 2014 it was thought that the species extended into southern Chile and Argentine Patagonia but these populations are now proposed to belong to closely related species named Abrothrix hirta.[3]
The southern Chilean Abrothrix sanborni may not be distinct from this species.[4]
