Description
Microtus abbreviatus Miller 1899
Microtus abbreviatus Miller 1899, Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., 13: 13.
Type Locality: USA, Alaska, Bering Sea, Hall Isl.
Vernacular Names: Insular Vole.
Synonyms: Microtus fisheri Merriam 1900.
Distribution: Hall and St. Matthew Isls, Bering Sea (Alaska, USA).
Conservation: IUCN – Data Deficient.
Discussion: An insular relative of M. miurus of the Alaskan mainland, generally retained as a species (Fedyk, 1970; Jones et al., 1997; Rausch and Rausch, 1968) but separate status questioned (Conroy and Cook, 2000 a). Also see accounts of M. gregalis and M. miurus.
