SPECIES Habromys simulatus
| Author: | Osgood, 1904. | | Citation: | Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., 17: 72. | | Common Name: | Jico Deermouse | | Type Locality: | México, Veracruz, near Jico, 6000 ft (1830 m). | | Distribution: | Eastern middle slopes of Sierra Madre Oriental, 1830-2200 m, from S Hidalgo and C Veracruz to extreme NW Oaxaca, México. | | Status: | IUCN – Endangered. | | Comments: | Distribution summarized by Carleton et al. (2002) but enhancement of range limits needed. For example, the status of the form reported as Peromyscus affinity simulatus from the Sierra de Taxco, N Guerrero (León Paniagua and Romo Vázquez, 1993), needs clarification; the presence of H. simulatus proper in the Cordillera Transvolcanica seems zoogeographically implausible. |
