Treatment

[Mus] cinereus Ord 1815 , in: Guthrie, New Geogr., Hist., Coml. Grammar, Philadelphia, 2nd ed., Vol. 2: 292.

Type Locality: USA, Montana, Cascade Co., Great Falls.

Vernacular Names: Bushy-tailed Woodrat.

Distribution: SE Yukon and westernmost Northwest Territories, south through Alaskan Panhandle, British Columbia and W Alberta, Canada; in W USA, from Washington to W Dakotas as far south as EC California, S Nevada, N Arizona, and NW New Mexico.

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: Subgenus Teonoma . Type species of Teonoma , conventionally acknowledged as a distinctive subgenus of Neotoma (e.g., Burt and Barkalow, 1942; Goldman, 1910; Hall, 1981; Hooper, 1960). Cladistically basal to all other species of Neotoma surveyed by Planz et al. (1996) and Edwards and Bradley (2002 b); the latter authors discussed the possible generic elevation of Teonoma but demurred pending cladistic examination of N. (Teanopus) phenax . Late Quaternary changes in body size as correlated with temperature fluctuations documented by Smith et al. (1995). See Smith (1997, Mammalian Species, 564).
