Discussion: Subgenus Otisorex . Controversial opinions on the systematic status of milleri exist; Findley (1955 a) regarded it as a morphologically distinct relict population allied to cinereus and accepted its specific status, as did Hall (1981) and Junge and Hoffmann (1981); while van Zyll de Jong and Kirkland (1989) suggested that milleri may not merit full specific status.
