Description
Tamias (Neotamias) ruficaudus A. H. Howell 1920
Tamias (Neotamias) ruficaudus A. H. Howell 1920, Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., 33: 91.
Type Locality: "Upper St. Mary's Lake, [Glacier Co.,] Montana." [USA].
Vernacular Names: Red-tailed Chipmunk.
Subspecies::
Subspecies Tamias (Neotamias) ruficaudus subsp. ruficaudus A. H. Howell 1920
Subspecies Tamias (Neotamias) ruficaudus subsp. simulans A. H. Howell 1922
Distribution: NE Washington to W Montana (USA), and SE British Columbia (Canada).
Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).
Discussion: Subgenus Neotamias. Patterson and Heaney (1987) presented both cranial and bacular data indicating that simulans may be specifically distinct from ruficaudus, but the nature of contact between the two forms is not known. Reviewed by Best (1993 b, Mammalian Species No. 452). Introgressive hybridization with T. amoenus reported in Good et al. (2003).
