Neotoma (Neotoma) nelsoni Goldman 1905 View in CoL
Neotoma (Neotoma) nelsoni Goldman 1905 View in CoL , Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., 18: 29.
Type Locality: México, Veracruz, Perote, 7800 ft (2377 m).
Vernacular Names: Nelson's Woodrat.
Distribution: Known only from the type locality.
Conservation: IUCN – Endangered.
Discussion: Subgenus Neotoma . Affiliated with N. albigula but stature as a separate species uncertain (see Hall and Genoways, 1970). The removal, as N. leucodon , of southern populations formerly associated with albigula necessitates reevalution of the status of nelsoni and its affinity with repect to the floridana and micropus species groups (see Edwards and Bradley, 2002 b).
