SPECIES Neotoma (Neotoma) bunkeri
| Author: | Burt, 1932. | | Citation: | Trans. San Diego Soc. Nat. Hist., 7: 181. | | Common Name: | Coronados Island Woodrat | | Type Locality: | México, Baja California Sur, Coronados Isl; 26°06'N, 111°18'W. | | Distribution: | Known only from the type locality. | | Status: | IUCN – Endangered. | | Comments: | Subgenus Neotoma, lepida species group (sensu Edwards and Bradley, 2002b). Likely conspecific with N. lepida according to Mascarello (1978). Not collected since 1932; judged "extinct for years or even decades" by Smith et al. (1993:152), probably due to a combination of habitat destruction and domestic cat predation (also see Alvarez-Castañeda and Ortega-Rubio, 2003). |
