[Dipus] hudsonius Zimmermann 1780 , Geogr. Gesch. Mensch. Vierf. Thiere, 2: 358.
Type Locality: Canada, Ontario, Hudson Bay, Fort Severn (see Anderson, 1942 b) .
Vernacular Names: Meadow Jumping Mouse.
Synonyms: Zapus acadicus Anderson 1942 ; Zapus alascensis Merriam 1897 ; Zapus americanus Barton 1799 ; Zapus australis Bailey 1913 ; Zapus brevipes Bole and Moulthrop 1942 ; Zapus campestris Preble 1899 ; Zapus canadensis (Davies 1798) ; Zapus hardyi Batchelder 1899 ; Zapus intermedius Krutzsch 1954 ; Zapus labradorius ( Kerr 1792) ; Zapus ladas Bangs 1899 ; Zapus luteus Miller 1911 ; Zapus microcephalus (Harlan 1839) ; Zapus ontarioensis Anderson 1943 ; Zapus pallidus Cockrum and Baker 1950 ; Zapus preblei Krutzsch 1954 ; Zapus rafinesquei Bole and Moulthrop 1942 ; Zapus tenellus Merriam 1897 .
Distribution: USA and Canada: S Alaska to S Coast Hudson Bay to Labrador, south to E North Carolina and NW South Carolina, southwest to NW Alabama, north to NE Mississippi and Tennessee, west to NE Oklahoma, northwest to SE Montana, northeast to SE Saskatchewan, northwest to C and S British Columbia. Isolated populations in S Wyoming, NC Colorado, N and C New Mexico, and EC Arizona.
Conservation: U. S. ESA – Threatened as Z. h. preblei ; IUCN – Endangered as Z. h. preblei, Vulnerable as Z. h. campestris , Lower Risk (nt) as Z. h luteus , otherwise Lower Risk (lc).
Discussion: Distinguishing Z. hudsonius from Z. princeps using repeated cranial measurements elaborated by Conner and Shenk (2003). The S Rocky Mtn population originally described as luteus , formerly assigned to princeps , was shown to represent hudsonius by Hafner et al. (1981). Diagnosis, records and range map (excluding Mississippi), provided by Hall (1981). Mississippi record given by Kennedy et al. (1982). Results of new survey for the species in New Mexico reported by Morrison (1992), and population in NE Oklahoma reviewed by Kasper et al. (1993). Reviewed by Whitaker (1972, Mammalian Species, 11; 1999 b), and Whitaker and Hamilton (1998). For synonyms see Hall (1981).
