Author:Wagner, 1843.
Citation:Arch. Naturgesch., 9(2): 52.
Common Name:Oldfield Deermouse
Type Locality:USA, Georgia.
Distribution:SE USA, from SC Tennessee to W South Carolina, south through Alabama and Georgia, to panhandle and N peninsular Florida, USA.
Status:U.S. ESA – Endangered as P. p. allophrys, P. p. ammobates, P. p. peninsularis, P. p. phasma, and P. p. trissyllepsis, Threatened and as P. p. niveiventris; IUCN – Extinct as P. p. decoloratus, Critically Endangered as P. p. trissyllepsis, Endangered as P. p. allophrys, P. p. ammobates, P. p. peninsularis, and P. p. phasma, Lower Risk (nt) as P. p. leucocephalus and P. p. niveiventris, otherwise Lower Risk (lc).
Comments:P. maniculatus species group. Revised by Osgood (1909). Pleistocene origination of subspecies hypothesized by Bowen (1968); intraspecific genetic differentiation surveyed by Selander et al. (1971). See commentary on subspecific variation and ranges by Whitaker and Hamilton (1998), who considered colemani and subgriseus as inseparable from the nominate subspecies. Membership within maniculatus group and relationships to other Peromyscus assessed by Avise et al. (1979), Greenbaum et al. (1978), Rogers et al. (1984), and Stangl and Baker (1984b).
