description: <i>Microtus oregoni</i> (Bachman, 1839). J. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia, 8:60. TYPE LOCALITY: USA, Oregon, Clatsop Co., Astoria. DISTRIBUTION: Moist coniferous forest seres of Pacific Northwest, from SW British Columbia, Canada, south to NW California, USA. SYNONYMS: <i>adocetus, bairdi, cantwelli, morosus, serpens.</i> COMMENTS: Subgenus <i>Mynomes,</i> sole member of <i>oregoni</i> species group <i>sensu</i> Zagorodnyuk (1990). Type species of <i>Chilotus,</i> conventionally recognized as a subgenus of <i>Microtus</i> (see Anderson, 1959, 1960; Bailey, 1900), and occasionally including Old World <i>M. socialis</i> as a comember (Chaline, 1974; Ognev, 1964) or not (Anderson, 1959). Hooper and Hart (1962), however, found the morphological evidence insufficient to warrant subgeneric segregation of <i>oregoni</i> from North American species of <i>Microtus,</i> a viewpoint sustained by genetic distance comparisons (Moore and Janecek, 1990) and reflected in the classification of Zagorodnyuk (1990). Diploid number and sexdetermining mechanism unique among North American <i>Microtus</i> studied (Ohno et al., 1963). See Carraway and Verts, 1985 (Mammalian Species, 233).
