Neotoma (Neotoma) micropus Baird 1855 View in CoL

Neotoma (Neotoma) micropus Baird 1855 View in CoL , Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia, 7: 333.

Type Locality: México, Tamaulipas, Charco Escondido.

Vernacular Names: Southern Plains Woodrat.

Synonyms: Neotoma (Neotoma) canescens J. A. Allen 1891 ; Neotoma (Neotoma) leucophaea Goldman 1933 ; Neotoma (Neotoma) littoralis Goldman 1905 ; Neotoma (Neotoma) planiceps Goldman 1905 ; Neotoma (Neotoma) surberi Elliot 1899 .

Distribution: SE Colorado and SW Kansas through W Texas and most of New Mexico, USA; south in México to N Chihuahua, E San Luis Potosí, and S Tamaulipas.

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: Subgenus Neotoma , micropus species group ( sensu Edwards and Bradley, 2002 b ). Limited hybridization documented with N. floridana in Oklahoma (Birney, 1973) and believed probable with N. leucodon (reported as N. albigula ) in Colorado ( Finley, 1958) and Coahuila (Anderson, 1969); also see commentary under N. albigula , N. floridana , and N. leucodon . Genetically distinct from but generally related to the N. albigula complex ( sensu Planz et al., 1996 ), in particular N. leucodon ( micropus species group sensu Edwards et al., 2001 ). See Braun and Mares (1989, Mammalian Species, 330).
