Type Locality:
Mexico
,
Baja California Sur
,
4 mi
SE Migriño.
Vernacular Names:
Dalquest's Pocket Mouse
.
Distribution:
Cape Region of
Baja California Sur
(
Mexico
).
Conservation:
IUCN
– Lower Risk (lc) as included in
C. arenarius
.
Discussion:
Considered a subspecies of
C. arenarius
by Patton (1993
b
),
Williams et al. (1993)
, and Patton and Alvarez-Castañeda (1999), with which it shares an identical karyotype (
Hafner and Hafner, 1983
). However, both mitochondrial DNA (
Riddle et al., 2000
b
) and morphology (D. J. Hafner, pers. comm.) suggest separate species status, although a complete analysis of the relationships of
dalquesti
to
arenarius
has not as yet been made.
