    Despite the natural history, biology and ecology of N. lasiurus be well studied, nothing is so far known for N. lenguarum, except on the environment where individuals were captured (this study and resume in Pardiñas et al. 2015). The importance of identifying cryptic species is enlarged when these species are potential reservoir of species-specific zoonotic pathogens, as the case of N. lasiurus, reservoir of Hantavirus Araraquara in Brazil (Johnson et al. 1999), N. obscurus, reservoir of Hantavirus Maciel in Argentina (Levis et al. 1997), and N. lenguarum, already detected positive for hantavirus in Peru (Razuri et al. 2014). ARB collected field data, delineated the study, analyzed morphology and part of molecular, interpreted the results, wrote the paper, and prepared the figures and tables; CRB collected field data, delineated the study, provided laboratory facilities, and provided comments and additions to the manuscript; JCM provided comments and additions to the manuscript; LGP analyzed part of molecular data; RC analyzed the molecular data, interpreted their results and provided comments and additions to the manuscript.

Regarding rodents infected with Pergamino genotype, the association with A. azarae, already reported in the surroundings of the study area (Levis et al., 1997, 1998; Vadell et al., 2011), was expected, as this rodent is considered its natural host. On the other hand, the association Ox.

    While HPS and Sin Nombre virus (SNV) were only discovered in 1993, following a series of severe illnesses and deaths in the Southwestern United States, (Childs et al., 1994; Ksiazek et al., 1995; MMWR, 1993; Nichol et al., 1993), retrospective diagnostics demonstrated that HPS cases had occurred earlier, and likely decades prior to this period (Frampton et al., 1995; Schwarcz et al., 1996; Wilson et al., 1994; Zaki et al., 1994, 1996). The discovery of HPS associated with SNV quickly led to the identification of a much wider geographic occurrence of HPS, associated with numerous hantavirus species, including disease in the south central, southeastern, and northeastern United States, due to Bayou (Hjelle et al., 1996; Khan et al., 1995; Ksiazek et al., 1997; Morzunov et al., 1995; Torrez-Martinez et al., 1998), BCCV (Khan et al., 1996a; Ravkov et al., 1995; Rollin et al., 1995), and New York and Monongahela viruses (Hjelle et al., 1995; Morzunov et al., 1998; Rhodes et al., 2000; Song et al., 1994), respectively, as well as the occurrence of HPS in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, French Guiana, Panama, Paraguay, and Uruguay (Espinoza et al., 1998; Johnson et al., 1997, 1999; Levis et al., 1998, 1997; Lopez et al., 1996; Matheus et al., 2010; Padula et al., 2000; Stephen et al., 1994; Toro et al., 1998; Vincent et al., 2000; Williams et al., 1997). Within the US, HPS cases are most common in the southwest (Macneil et al., 2011).
