description: <i>Peromyscus</i> Gloger, 1841. Gem. Hand. Hilfs. Nat., 1:95. REVIEWED BY: S. Anderson (SA); W. Caire (WC); R. P. Canham (RPC); M. D. Carleton (MDC); L. N. Carraway (LNC); D. G. Huckaby (DGH); C. W. Kilpatrick (CWK); T. E. Lawlor (TL); R. H. Pine (RHP); J. Ramirez-Pulido (JRP); G. Urbano-V. (GUV). COMMENT: Revised by Osgood, 1909, N. Am. Fauna, 28:1 -285; reviewed by Hooper, 1968, <i>in</i> King, ed., The Biology of <i>Peromyscus</i> (Rodentia), p. 27, and Carleton, 1980. Includes <i>Peromyscus</i> and <i>Haplomylomys</i> as subgenera; formerly included <i>Habromys, Isthmomys, Megadontomys, Ochrotomys, Osgoodomys,</i> and <i>Podomys</i> which were considered distinct genera by Carleton, 1980:118, 122- 127. Morphology of the spermatozoa studied by Linzey and Layne, 1974, Amer. Mus. Novit., 2532:1-20. Yates <i>et al.,</i> 1979, Syst. ZooL, 28:40-48, and Patton <i>et al.,</i> 1981:288-308, <i>in</i> Smith and Joule, eds., Mammalian Population Genetics, Univ. Georgia Press, Athens, included <i>Neotomodon</i> in <i>Peromyscus,</i> but Carleton, 1980:118, 126, and Hall, 1981:745, considered <i>Neotomodon</i> a distinct genus. The <i>mexicanus</i> group of subgenus <i>Peromyscus</i> was revised by Huckaby, 1980, Los Ang. Cty. Mus. Contrib. Sci., 326:1-24. The <i>boylii</i> group was revised by Carleton, 1977:1-47, and Carleton, 1979, J. Mammal., 60:280-296. The <i>eremicus</i> group was revised by Lawlor, 1971, Occas. Pap. Mus. Zool. Univ. Mich., 661:1 -22. Subfamily Hesperomyinae; see comment under Cricetidae. ISIS NUMBER: 5301410008039000000.
