description: <i>Peromyscus boylii</i> (Baird, 1855). Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia, 7:335. TYPE LOCALITY: USA, California, Eldorado Co., Middle Fork of American River, near Auburn. DISTRIBUTION: California to westernmost Oklahoma, USA, south to Queretaro and W Hidalgo, Mexico. SYNONYMS: <i>gaurus, glasselli, major, metallicola, parasiticus, pinalis, robustus, rowleyi, utahensis.</i> COMMENTS: Many taxa previously arrayed as subspecies by Osgood (1909) or Hall (1981) have been elevated to species, including <i>P. attwateri (see</i> Schmidly, 1973«), <i>P. aztecus</i> (see Alvarez, 1961; Carleton, 1979; Hooper, 1968b), <i>P. levipes</i> (see Schmidly et al., 1988), <i>P. madrensis</i> (see Carleton, 1977; Carleton et al., 1982), <i>P. simulus</i> (see Carleton, 1977), and <i>P. spicilegus</i> (see Carleton, 1977). Others have been realigned with other species— <i>cordillerae</i> and <i>evides</i> under <i>P. aztecus</i> (Carleton, 1979); <i>ambiguus, baetae,</i> and <i>sacarensis</i> under <i>P. levipes</i> (Carleton, 1979; Schmidly et al., 1988); and <i>penicillatus</i> under <i>P. difficilis</i> (Diersing, 1976). Chromosomal variation of <i>P. boylii</i> and its kin investigated by Houseal et al. (1987), Lee et al. (1972), and Schmidly and Schroeter (1974); biochemical variation by Avise et al. (1974«), Kilpatrick and Zimmerman (1975), Rennert and Kilpatrick (1986, 1987); morphological variation by Bradley and Schmidly (1987), Carleton (1977), and Schmidly et al. (1988). <i>P. boylii</i> species group.
