SPECIES Reithrodontomys (Aporodon) gracilis

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).
