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
).
