GENUS Habromys

Author:Hooper and Musser, 1964.
Citation:Occas. Pap. Mus. Zool., Univ. Michigan, 635: 12.
Type Species:Peromyscus lepturus Merriam, 1898.
Comments:Reithrodontomyini. Genus circumscribes species originally placed with the Peromyscus mexicanus complex, subgenus Peromyscus (Osgood, 1909). Hooper and Musser (1964b) acknowledged their distinctive morphology as the subgenus Habromys of Peromyscus (and Hooper, 1968), a clade that Carleton (1980, 1989) viewed at the generic level. Systematic evidence weakly supports common ancestry of Habromys with Neotomodon and/or Podomys (Carleton, 1980; Hooper and Musser, 1964b; Stangl and Baker, 1984b). Male reproductive tract examined by Hooper (1958), Hooper and Musser (1964b), and Linzey and Layne (1969, 1974). Species definitions revised and vouchered distributions summarized by Carleton et al. (2002).
