About This Book

The paper revises taxonomy of mice in the Peromyscus boylii group in eastern Mexico by reexamining historical specimens and recent collections. It concludes Peromyscus aztecus should be treated as a distinct species rather than a subspecies, recognizes Peromyscus beatae as a valid subspecies separate from P. b. levipes, and describes a previously unnamed subspecies from Nuevo León and northwestern Tamaulipas. Detailed comparisons of skull morphology, dentition, measurements, coloration, and geographic distribution are provided to support these taxonomic decisions.
