Author: | Merriam, 1898. | Citation: | Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., 12: 123. | Common Name: | Saxicoline Deermouse | Type Locality: | México, Distrito Federal, Tlalpan. | Distribution: | SW New Mexico, USA, south from W Chihuahua and SE Coahuila, through interior México to C Oaxaca. | Status: | IUCN – Lower Risk (lc). | Comments: | P. truei species group. Mexican populations revised, as part of P. truei, by Hoffmeister (1951).
