SPECIES Liomys pictus
| Author: | Thomas, 1893. | | Citation: | Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 6, 12: 233. | | Common Name: | Painted Spiny Pocket Mouse | | Type Locality: | Mexico, Jalisco, San Sebastian, 4,300 ft. (1,311 m). | | Distribution: | West coast of Mexico from Sonora to Chiapas, and east coast in Veracruz south to extreme NW Guatemala. | | Status: | IUCN – Lower Risk (lc). | | Comments: | Reviewed by McGhee and Genoways (1978, Mammalian Species No. 83). Genic data suggest that pictus as currently comprised is paraphyletic; additional species are likely to be recognized with further analyses (see Morales and Engstrom, 1989, and Rogers, 1990). Williams et al. (1993) reviewed subspecific taxonomy. |
