Description
Peromyscus melanophrys Coues 1874
Peromyscus melanophrys Coues 1874, 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.
