SPECIES Reithrodontomys (Reithrodontomys) sumichrasti

Author:Saussure, 1861.
Citation:Rev. Mag. Zool. Paris, Ser. 2, 13: 3.
Common Name:Sumichrast’s Harvest Mouse
Type Locality:México, Veracruz, Mirador (as restricted by Hooper, 1952:72).
Distribution:Allopatric segments in Middle American highlands: SW Jalisco and S San Luis Potosí to C Guerrero and EC Oaxaca, México; C Chiapas, México, to NC Nicaragua; C Costa Rica to W Panamá.
Status:IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).
Comments:Subgenus Reithrodontomys, megalotis species group. Reconstruction of historical biogeography based on mitochondrial DNA sequence data intimates that "sumichrasti" as defined by Hooper (1952) is a composite of two or more species (Sullivan et al., 2000), a finding that should be expanded within the context of a full revision. Sister species (sensu lato) to the R. megalotis R. zacatecae clade based on cytochrome­ b data (Bell et al., 2001).
