ORDER RODENTIA Bowdich, 1821 View in CoL

Four native families and one invasive Family Echimyidae , representing 21 species and 16 genera, occur in Korea. We regard the report of Petaurista leucogenys (Sciuridae) as unlikely because it is based on an imported skin from Japan ( Jones & Johnson 1965). The possible presence of Apodemus sylvaticus (Muridae) is a misidentification of A. peninsulae ( Han 2004c) . Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1951) included Korea within the distribution of Allactaga sibirica (Dipodidae) . However, the record for Korea was based on specimens from Jehol, China ( Jones & Johnson, 1965; Corbet 1978).
