SPECIES Reithrodontomys (Reithrodontomys) sumichrasti
Author: | Saussure, 1861. | Citation: | Rev. Mag. Zool. Paris, Ser. 2, 13: 3. | Common Name: | Sumichrast’s Harvest Mouse | Type Locality: | México, Veracruz, Mirador (as restricted by Hooper, 1952:72). | Distribution: | Allopatric segments in Middle American highlands: SW Jalisco and S San Luis Potosí to C Guerrero and EC Oaxaca, México; C Chiapas, México, to NC Nicaragua; C Costa Rica to W Panamá. | Status: | IUCN – Lower Risk (lc). | Comments: | Subgenus Reithrodontomys, megalotis species group. Reconstruction of historical biogeography based on mitochondrial DNA sequence data intimates that "sumichrasti" as defined by Hooper (1952) is a composite of two or more species (Sullivan et al., 2000), a finding that should be expanded within the context of a full revision. Sister species (sensu lato) to the R. megalotis R. zacatecae clade based on cytochrome b data (Bell et al., 2001). |
