Habromys chinanteco Robertson and Musser 1976 View in CoL

Habromys chinanteco Robertson and Musser 1976 View in CoL , Occas. Pap. Mus . Nat. Hist. Univ. Kansas, 47: 1.

Type Locality: México, Oaxaca, north slope Cerro Pelón, 31.6 km S Vista Hermosa, 2650 m.

Vernacular Names: Chinanteco Deermouse.

Distribution: The type locality and its vicinity on gulf-facing slopes, 2080-2650 m, of the Sierra de Juárez, NC Oaxaca, México.

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: A small-bodied species morphologically similar to H. simulatus and sympatric with H. lepturus (see Robertson and Musser, 1976). Possible status as a junior synonym of H. simulatus needs resolution (see Carleton et al., 2002).
