Author: | J. A. Allen and Chapman, 1897. | Citation: | Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 9: 9. | Common Name: | Slender Harvest Mouse | Type Locality: | México, Yucatán, Chichén Itzá. | Distribution: | Yucatán Peninsula and coastal Chiapas, México, south along Pacific watershed to WC Costa Rica (see Reid and Langtimm, 1993). | Status: | IUCN – Lower Risk (lc). | Comments: | Subgenus Aporodon, mexicanus species group. In the allozymic study of Arellano et al. (2003), samples of R. gracilis emerged as paraphyletic with regard to R. spectabilis on Cozumel Isl; their results identify the need for critical review of the gracilis spectabilis complex. See Young and Jones (1984, Mammalian Species, 218). |
