SPECIES Reithrodontomys (Aporodon) microdon
| Author: | Merriam, 1901. | | Citation: | Proc. Wash. Acad. Sci., 3: 548. | | Common Name: | Small-toothed Harvest Mouse | | Type Locality: | Guatemala, Huehuetenango Dept., Todos Santos, 10,000 ft (3048 m). | | Distribution: | Isolated pockets in highlands of N Michoacán and Distrito Federal, N Oaxaca, and C and S Chiapas (see Espinosa M. et al., 1999a), México, and WC Guatemala. | | Status: | IUCN – Lower Risk (nt). | | Comments: | Subgenus Aporodon, tenuirostris species group. Included forms doubtfully conspecific; e.g., in cladistic reconstructions based on allozymic data, Guatemalan and Mexican samples of R. microdon are paraphyletic with respect to R. tenuirostris (Arellano et al., 2003). |
