Description
Peromyscus attwateri J. A. Allen 1895
Peromyscus attwateri J. A. Allen 1895, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 7: 330.
Type Locality: USA, Texas, Kerr Co., Turtle Creek.
Vernacular Names: Texas Deermouse.
Synonyms: Peromyscus bellus Bangs 1896; Peromyscus cansensis Long 1961; Peromyscus laceyi Bailey 1905.
Distribution: Edwards Plateau (see Goetze, 1998) and E Llano Estacado (see L. Choate, 1997) of C and N Texas, eastwards through SW and E Oklahoma, to SE Kansas, SW Missouri, and NW Arkansas, USA.
Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).
Discussion: P. truei species group. Cognate relationship to P. difficilis (and nasutus) suggested by allozymic data (Janecek, 1990; Sullivan et al. 1991), a relationship bolstered by restriction-site (DeWalt et al., 1993 b) and gene-sequence analyses (Tiemann-Boege et al., 2000) of mitochondrial DNA. Classified as a geographic race of P. boylii (Osgood, 1909) until rediagnosed as a species by Schmidly (1973). Biochemical evolution studied by Kilpatrick (1984); morphometric variation among Arkansas populations evaluated by Sugg et al. (1990). Populations found along the eastern escarpment of the Llano Estacado, N Texas, reidentified as P. attwateri, not P. boylii (L. Choate, 1997). See Schmidly (1974, Mammalian Species, 48).
