Peromyscus crinitus Merriam 1891 View in CoL , N. Amer. Fauna, 5: 53.

Type Locality: USA, Idaho, Jerome Co., Shoshone Falls, north side of Snake River.

Vernacular Names: Canyon Deermouse.

Synonyms: Peromyscus auripectus (J. A. Allen 1893) ; Peromyscus delgadilli Benson 1940 ; Peromyscus disparilis Goldman 1932 ; Peromyscus doutii Goin 1944 ; Peromyscus pallidissimus Huey 1931 ; Peromyscus pergracilis Goldman 1939 ; Peromyscus peridoneus Goldman 1937 ; Peromyscus petraius Elliot 1904 ; Peromyscus rupicolus Benson 1940 ; Peromyscus scitulus Bangs 1899 ; Peromyscus scopulorum Benson 1940 ; Peromyscus stephensi Mearns 1897 .

Distribution: E Oregon and SW Idaho, south through Nevada and parts of Utah and W Colorado, USA, to EC Baja California Norte and NW Sonora, México.

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: P. crinitus species group. Revised by Osgood (1909); subspecific taxonomy updated by Hall and Hoffmeister (1942). Initially placed in subgenus Haplomylomys ( Osgood, 1909) ; later transferred to subgenus Peromyscus ( Hooper and Musser, 1964 b) . Karyotype viewed as primitive for the genus ( Greenbaum and Baker, 1978; Stangl and Baker, 1984 b). Population on Isla San Luís Gonzaga ( pallidissimus ), N Sea of Cortez, genetically similar to mainland P. crinitus and retained as subspecies ( Hafner et al., 2001). A composite of at least two species, the status of long-tailed forms (e.g., disparilis and delgadilli ) in particular meriting reassessment. See Johnson and Armstrong (1987, Mammalian Species, 287).
