Biol. Soc. Wash., 17: 72 . Type Locality: México , Veracruz , near Jico, 6000 ft ( 1830 m ). Vernacular Names: Jico Deermouse . Distribution: Eastern middle slopes of Sierra Madre Oriental, 1830-2200 m , from S Hidalgo and C Veracruz to extreme NW Oaxaca , México . Conservation: IUCN – Endangered. Discussion: Distribution summarized by Carleton et al. (2002) but enhancement of range limits needed. For example, the status of the form reported as Peromyscus affinity simulatus from the Sierra de Taxco, N Guerrero ( León Paniagua and Romo Vázquez, 1993), needs clarification; the presence of H. simulatus proper in the Cordillera Transvolcanica seems zoogeographically implausible.
