SPECIES Peromyscus melanophrys
| Author: | Coues, 1874. | | Citation: | Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia, 26: 181. | | Common Name: | Plateau Deermouse | | Type Locality: | México, Oaxaca, Santa Efigenia. | | Distribution: | S Durango and Coahuila, south through interior México to Chiapas. | | Status: | IUCN – Lower Risk (lc). | | Comments: | P. melanophrys species group. Revised by Baker (1952) to include xenurus, which Osgood (1909) had retained as a species. Relationships evaluated by Schmidly et al. (1985) and Stangl and Baker (1984b). The level of differentiation of micropus in Jalisco and Nayarit deserves reconsideration. |
