Treatment

Apodemus rusiges Miller, 1913 View in CoL . Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, 26:81.

TYPE LOCALITY: N India, C Kashmir .

DISTRIBUTION: N India (Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, and Kumaun); range limits unresolved.

SYNONYMS: griseus .

COMMENTS: Subgenus Sylvaemus . Miller's rusiges was a renaming of True's griseus (see Ellerman, 1941:100). Listed as a subspecies of A. flavicollis by Ellerman (1941, 1961) and Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1951), and as a subspecies of A. sylvaticus by Corbet (1978c), the long-tailed and distinctively patterned rusiges appears to be a separate species endemic to N India.
