description: <i>Peromyscus</i> Gloger, 1841. Gemein Hand.-Hilfsbuch. Nat., 1:95. TYPE SPECIES: <i>Peromyscus arboreus</i> Gloger, 1841 (= <i>Mus leucopus</i> Rafinesque, 1818). SYNONYMS: <i>Haplomylomys, Sitomys, Vesperimus, Trinodontomys.</i> COMMENTS: The <i>Drosophila</i> of North American mammalogy, the alpha-level classification of the genus has been revised three times (Osgood, 1909; Hooper, 1968b; Carleton, 1989) and its biology and evolution have been twice monographed (King, 1968; Kirkland and Layne, 1989). Multispecies surveys have broadly sampled the morphology of the genus (Carleton, 1973, 1980; Hooper, 1957, 1958; Hooper and Musser, 1964b; Linzey and Layne, 1969, 1974), its karyology (Robbins and Baker, 1981; L. W. Robbins et al., 1983; Rogers et al., 1984; Stangl and Baker, 1984b), biochemical variation (Avise et al., 1974a, b, 1979; Brownell, 1983; Fuller et al., 1984; J. C. Patton et al., 1981; Rogers and Engstrom, 1992; Schmidly et al., 1985; Zimmerman et al., 1978), and geographical ecology (Glazier, 1980). Major subdivisions of <i>Peromyscus</i> have received added revisionary attention, especially the <i>eremicus</i> (Avise et al., 1974b; Lawlor, 1971a, b), <i>maniculatus</i> (Allard et al., 1987; Gunn and Greenbaum, 1986), <i>boylii</i> (Avise et al., 1974a; Bradley and Schmidly, 1987; Bradley et al„ 1989; Carleton, 1977, 1979; Schmidly, 1973a; Schmidly et al., 1988; Smith, 1990), <i>truei</i> (Janecek, 1990; Modi and Lee, 1984; Schmidly, 1973b; Zimmerman et al., 1975), and <i>mexicanus</i> (Huckaby, 1980; Musser, 1971a; Rogers and Engstrom, 1992; Smith et al., 1986) species groups. Greater emphasis on phylogenetic systematics has altered Osgood's (1909) original generic scope. <i>Baiomys</i> and <i>Ochrotomys</i> have been removed and ranked as separate genera (Carleton, 1980; Hooper, 1958; Hooper and Musser, 1964b). Taxa defined as subgenera by Hooper (1968b — <i>Habromys, Isthmomys, Megadontomys, Osgoodomys,</i> and <i>Podomys)</i> have been considered distinct genera by Carleton (1980) but not others (Rogers, 1983; Stangl and Baker, 1984b; Yates et al., 1979). Expansion of the generic limits of Hooper (1968b) has been advocated to encompass <i>Neotomodon</i> (Stangl and Baker, 1984b; Yates et al., 1979) and perhaps <i>Onychomys</i> (Stangl and Baker, 1984b). Nomenclatural resolution of these alternative proposals awaits further study. <i>Haplomylomys</i> has been used as a subgenus to contain the <i>californicus</i> and <i>eremicus</i> species groups, all others being assigned to the subgenus <i>Peromyscus;</i> Carleton (1989) did not employ subgeneric divisions.
