description: <i>Mus spretus</i> Lataste, 1883. Acta Linn. Soc. Bordeaux, ser. 7, 4:27. TYPE LOCALITY: Algeria, Oued Magra, between M'sila and Barika, north of Hodna. DISTRIBUTION: S France, Spain (incl. Balearic Isis), Portugal, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya (see map in Marshall, 1981). SYNONYMS: <i>hispanicus, lusitanicus, lynesi, mogrebinus, parvus, rifensis.</i> COMMENTS: Subgenus <i>Mus.</i> This species was the subject of biometrical and morphological analyses (Darviche and Orsini, 1982; Engels, 1980, 1983b; Gerasimov et al., 1990; Palomo, 1988; Palomo et al., 1983; Vargas, et al., 1984), as well as chromosomal and electrophoretic studies (Cano et al., 1984; Engels, 1983«; Matsuda and Chapman, 1992; Traut et al., 1992). Analysis of variability in mitochrondrial DNA revealed two genetically distinct phylogenetic groups within <i>spretus</i> (Boursot, et al., 1985). Differences between <i>M. spretus</i> and <i>M. musculus</i> in thermoregulatory capabilities reported by Górecki et al. (1990). Alcover et al. (1985) described <i>parvus</i> as a subspecies of <i>M. spretus.</i>
