Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc). Discussion: Subgenus Reithrodontomys , megalotis species group. Reconstruction of historical biogeography based on mitochondrial DNA sequence data intimates that " sumichrasti " as defined by Hooper (1952) is a composite of two or more species ( Sullivan et al., 2000 ), a finding that should be expanded within the context of a full revision. Sister species ( sensu lato ) to the R. megalotis and R. zacatecae clade based on cytochrome­b data ( Bell et al., 2001 ).
