SPECIES Neotoma (Neotoma) lepida
| Author: | Thomas, 1893. | | Citation: | Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 6, 12: 235. | | Common Name: | Desert Woodrat | | Type Locality: | USA, "Simpson’s Route" between Camp Floyd (= Fairfield), Utah and Carson City, Nevada (as restricted by Goldman, 1932:61). | | Distribution: | SE Oregon to C Utah and WC Colorado, south through Nevada, NW Arizona, and S California, USA, to S Baja California Sur, México. | | Status: | IUCN – Data Deficient as N. l. intermedia, otherwise Lower Risk (lc). | | Comments: | Subgenus Neotoma, lepida species group (sensu Edwards and Bradley, 2002b). Even with removal of N. devia, "lepida" may still represent a composite of two species (Mascarello, 1978; Riddle et al., 2000b). As underscored in the phylogeographic study of Patton and Alvarez-Castañeda (In Press), based on cytochrome b data, populations from the coastal region of W California and the Baja California peninsula (= intermedia) are more genetically differentiated from lepida proper than are those of N. devia. Taxonomic stature of these coastal-peninsular populations, and the possible nomenclatural priority of the insular form bryanti for this complex, await integrated morphological and molecular confirmation (see Patton and Alvarez-Castañeda, In Press). As with N. devia, explicit allocation of species-group synonyms is needed. See Verts and Carraway (2002, Mammalian Species, 699). |
