Neotoma devia Goldman, 1927 . Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, 40:205.

TYPE LOCALITY: Arizona, Painted Desert, Tanner Tank, 5200 ft .

DISTRIBUTION: EC and S Utah, W Arizona, USA; NW Sonora, Mexico.

SYNONYMS: aureotunicata, auripila, bensoni, flava, harteri, monstrabilis, sanrafaeli.

COMMENTS: Subgenus Neotoma . Once ranked as a subspecies of N. lepida, from which several data sources support its specific-level divergence (Koop et al., 1985; Mascarello, 1978). Allocation of species-group synonyms requires further affirmation as does the delimitation of its geographic range.
