Distribution: SE Oregon to C Utah and WC Colorado, south through Nevada, NW Arizona, and S California, USA, to S Baja California Sur , México.

Conservation: IUCN – Data Deficient as N. l. intermedia , otherwise Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: Subgenus Neotoma , lepida species group ( sensu Edwards and Bradley, 2002 b ). Even with removal of N. devia , " lepida " may still represent a composite of two species ( Mascarello, 1978; Riddle et al., 2000 b). As underscored in the phylogeographic study of Patton and Alvarez-Castañeda (In Press), based on cytochrome b data, populations from the coastal region of W California and the Baja California peninsula (= intermedia ) are more genetically differentiated from lepida proper than are those of N. devia . Taxonomic stature of these coastal-peninsular populations, and the possible nomenclatural priority of the insular form bryanti for this complex, await integrated morphological and molecular confirmation (see Patton and Alvarez-Castañeda, In Press). As with N. devia , explicit allocation of species-group synonyms is needed. See Verts and Carraway (2002, Mammalian Species, 699).
