Reithrodontomys (Aporodon) gracilis J. A. Allen and Chapman 1897
Reithrodontomys (Aporodon) gracilis J. A. Allen and Chapman 1897, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 9: 9.
Type Locality: México, Yucatán, Chichén Itzá.
Vernacular Names: Slender Harvest Mouse.
Synonyms: Reithrodontomys (Aporodon) anthonyi Goodwin 1932; Reithrodontomys (Aporodon) harrisi Goodwin 1945; Reithrodontomys (Aporodon) insularis Jones 1964; Reithrodontomys (Aporodon) pacificus Goodwin 1932.
Distribution: Yucatán Peninsula and coastal Chiapas, México, south along Pacific watershed to WC Costa Rica (see Reid and Langtimm, 1993).
Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).
Discussion: Subgenus Aporodon, mexicanus species group. In the allozymic study of Arellano et al. (2003), samples of R. gracilis emerged as paraphyletic with regard to R. spectabilis on Cozumel Isl; their results identify the need for critical review of the gracilis spectabilis complex. See Young and Jones (1984, Mammalian Species, 218).
