Neotoma (Neotoma) magister Baird 1857 View in CoL

Neotoma (Neotoma) magister Baird 1857 View in CoL , Mammalia, in: Repts. U. S. Expl. Surv., Vol. 8: 498.

Type Locality: USA, Pennsylvania, cave near Carlisle (Cumberland Co.) and Harrisburg (Dauphin Co.).

Vernacular Names: Allegheny Woodrat.

Synonyms: Neotoma (Neotoma) pennsylvanica Stone 1893 .

Distribution: Allegheny Mountains, E USA, along a southwesterly tract from extreme SE New York and NW New Jersey to N Alabama and NW Georgia; isolated pockets in S Indiana and S Ohio.

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (nt).

Discussion: Subgenus Neotoma , floridana species group ( sensu Edwards and Bradley, 2002 b ). Originally described as a species, retained as such by Goldman (1910), later placed as a subspecies of N. floridana by Burt and Barkalow (1942). Birney (1976), however, noted that magister may prove distinct from N. floridana , an assessment borne out by subsequent morphological and genetic studies ( Edwards and Bradley, 2001; Hayes and Harrison, 1992; Hayes and Richmond, 1993; Planz et al., 1996). Historical biogeography and timing of divergence from N. floridana postulated by Hayes and Harrison (1992) and Edwards and Bradley (2001).
