SPECIES Perognathus inornatus
| Author: | Merriam, 1889. | | Citation: | N. Am. Fauna, 1: 15. | | Common Name: | San Joaquin Pocket Mouse | | Type Locality: | USA, California, Fresno Co., Fresno. | | Distribution: | Sacramento, San Joaquin and Salinas valleys and adjacent foothills, and western Mojave Desert, of California (USA). | | Status: | IUCN – Lower Risk (nt) as P. i. neglectus and P. i. psammophilus; otherwise Lower Risk (lc). | | Comments: | Revised by Osgood (1918); subspecies listed by Williams et al. (1993) who allocated psammophilus (with sillimani as a synonym) to this species, not to longimembris where this name has been usually placed (Hall, 1981; Patton, 1993b). As noted by Williams et al. (1993), at least two and possibly three distinct species are currently included under the name inornatus. Reviewed by Best (1993e, Mammalian Species No. 450). |
