| Author: | Osgood, 1909. | | Citation: | N. Am. Fauna, 28: 226. | | Type Species: | Hesperomys floridanus Chapman, 1889. | | Comments: | Reithrodontomyini. Named as a subgenus of Peromyscus by Osgood (1909) and maintained as such by Hooper (1968). Carleton (1980, 1989) argued for generic recognition, a ranking disputed by others (Rogers et al., 1984; Stangl and Baker, 1984b). Various morphological features suggest relationship to Neotomodon and-or Habromys (Carleton, 1980; Hooper and Musser, 1964b; Linzey and Layne, 1969). Accessory reproductive glands and spermatozoan morphology described by Linzey and Layne (1969, 1974). |
