[Zapus] insignis Miller 1891 View in CoL , Am. Nat., 25: 742.

Type Locality: Canada, New Brunswick, Restigouche River.

Vernacular Names: Woodland Jumping Mouse.

Synonyms: Napaeozapus abietorum ( Preble 1899) ; Napaeozapus algonquinensis Prince 1941 ; Napaeozapus frutectanus Jackson 1919 ; Napaeozapus gaspensis Anderson 1942 ; Napaeozapus roanensis ( Preble 1899) ; Napaeozapus saguenayensis Anderson 1942 .

Distribution: Canada: SE Manitoba, SW and E Ontario, S and E Quebec north to S Labrador. USA: E Minnesota, N and C Wisconsin, upper peninsular and N lower peninsular Michigan, E Ohio, Pennsylvania; north and east to NW New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, W Massachusetts (isolated population in Martha's Vinyard), Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine; south to West Virginia, W Virginia, E Kentucky, E Tennessee, W North Carolina, NW South Carolina, and NE Georgia.

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: A specimen of Napaeozapus was collected in Park County, Indiana ( Lyon, 1942), though subsequent trapping failed to yield further examples ( Mumford, 1969). The identity of the specimen was verified by Klingener (1965:645) and Wrigley (1972:42). Systematic revision and biology provided by Wrigley (1972). Myology, in context of adaptive and phylogenetic significance, studied by Klingener (1964). Diagnosis, range map, and records provided by Hall (1981). Population in E Kentucky discussed by Meade (1992). Reviewed by Whitaker and Wrigley (1972, Mammalian Species, 14), Whitaker and Hamilton (1998), and Whitaker (1999 a). For synonyms see Hall (1981).
