GENUS Microdipodops
Author: | Merriam, 1891. | Citation: | N. Am. Fauna, 5: 115. | Type Species: | Microdipodops megacephalus Merriam, 1891. | Comments: | Revised by Hall (1941); also see Hafner et al. (1979). Wood (1935), Hafner (1978), and Hall (1981) considered Microdipodops a member of the subfamily Perognathinae. Hafner (1982), Hafner and Hafner (1983), Wahlert (1985), and Ryan (1989a) summarized evidence for referring the genus to the subfamily Dipodomyinae. Hall (1981:560) and Williams et al. (1993:92) provide keys to species. |
