Distribution:
USA
,
SW
and C
Oregon
to W and SE
Colorado
, south to
N Baja
California
Norte (
México
), Arizona, and New
Mexico
; isolated populations in N Texas (
comanche
) and
S
Baja California Sur
(
lagunae
).
Conservation:
IUCN
– Lower Risk (nt) as
P. t.
comanche
, otherwise Lower Risk (lc).
Discussion:
P. truei
species group. Revised by
Hoffmeister (1951)
, who included Mexican populations subsequently recognized as
P. gratus
(see above species account). Schmidly (1973) reallocated
comanche
as a geographic variant of
P. truei
, a synonymy supported by an array of information (e.g.,
DeWalt et al., 1993
b
;
Janecek, 1990
;
Modi and Lee, 1984
); localized distribution and conservation status of this subspecies addressed by
Yancey et al. (1996)
. Geographic variation in pelage color among Great Basin populations evaluated by
Carraway and Verts (2002)
, who discussed results apropos recognized subspecies. Range extension and locality records in
Oregon
verified by Carraway et al. (1993) and
Verts and Carraway (1998
:Fig. 11-79). See
Hoffmeister (1981
, Mammalian Species, 161).
