Type Locality: México, Baja California Norte, Todos Santos Isl.

Vernacular Names: Anthony's Woodrat.

Distribution: Known only from the type locality.

Discussion: Subgenus Neotoma , lepida species group ( sensu Edwards and Bradley, 2002 b ). Listed as nominal species of N. lepida group by Goldman (1932); also see Mascarello (1978). Not collected since 1910; judged "extinct or very close to extinction" by Mellink (1992:139) probably due to the introduction of domestic cats. See Cortés-Calva et al.
