description: <i>Peromyscus maniculatus</i> (Wagner, 1845). Arch. Naturgesch., 11, 1:148. TYPE LOCALITY: Canada, Labrador, Moravian settlements. DISTRIBUTION: Panhandle of Alaska and across N Canada, south through most of continental USA, excluding the SE and E seaboard, to southernmost Baja California Sur and to NC Oaxaca, Mexico. SYNONYMS: <i>abietorum, akeleyi, algidus, alpinus, anacapae, angustus, anticostiensis, argentatus, artemisiae, assimilis, austerus, bairdii, balaclavae, beresfordi, blandus, borealis, canadensis, cancrivorus, carli, catalinae, cineritius, dementis, coolidgei, deserticolus, dorsalis, doylei, dubius, elusus, eremus, exiguus, exterus, fulvus, gambeli, georgiensis, geronimensis, gracilis, gunnisoni, hollisteri, hueyi, hylaeus, imperfectus, inclarus, insolatus, keeni, labecula, luteus, macrorhinus, magdalenae, margaritae, maritimus, martinensis, médius, osgoodi, nebrascensis, nubiterrae, oresterus, ozarkiarum, pallescens, perimekurus, plumbeus, pluvialis, prevostensis, rubidus, rubriventer, rufinus, sanctaerosae, santacruzae, sartinensis, saturatus, saxamans, serratus, sonoriensis, streatori, subarcticus, thurberi, triangularis, umbrinus.</i> COMMENTS: Status and relationships with regard to P. <i>melanotis</i> addressed by Bowers et al. (1973), Bowers (1974), and Greenbaum and Baker (1978); to <i>P. oreas</i> by Allard et al. (1987), Allard and Greenbaum (1988), and Gunn and Greenbaum (1986); and to <i>P. polionotus</i> by Avise et al. (1979) and Robbins and Baker (1981). Distinction between short-tailed and long-tailed geographic races (e.g., Hooper, 1968b; Koh and Peterson, 1983) obscurely reflected in chromosomal and biochemical data (Avise et al., 1979; Bowers et al., 1973; Bradshaw and Hsu, 1972; Calhoun et al., 1988; Lansman et al., 1983). Specific homogeneity of included taxa doubtful. <i>P. maniculatus</i> species group.
