Peromyscus melanophrys Coues 1874 View in CoL

Peromyscus melanophrys Coues 1874 View in CoL , Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia, 26: 181.

Type Locality: México, Oaxaca, Santa Efigenia.

Vernacular Names: Plateau Deermouse.

Synonyms: Peromyscus coahuilensis Baker 1952 ; Peromyscus consobrinus Osgood 1904 ; Peromyscus micropus Baker 1952 ; Peromyscus xenurus Osgood 1904 ; Peromyscus zamorae Osgood 1904 .

Distribution: S Durango and Coahuila, south through interior México to Chiapas.

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: P. melanophrys species group. Revised by Baker (1952) to include xenurus , which Osgood (1909) had retained as a species. Relationships evaluated by Schmidly et al. (1985) and Stangl and Baker (1984 b). The level of differentiation of micropus in Jalisco and Nayarit deserves reconsideration.
