(1909:153) recorded _P. b. levipes_ as occurring from central
Nuevo Leon south through San Luis Potosi, Hidalgo, and Veracruz to
southern Oaxaca. Actually specimens from Nuevo Leon and from most parts
of Veracruz differ subspecifically from _levipes_ and also from each
other. In Veracruz, _P. b. levipes_ is known only from the northwestern
part.

#Peromyscus boylii beatae# Thomas

1903. _Peromyscus beatae_ Thomas, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 7,
11:485, May, type from Xometla Camp, Mt. Orizaba, Veracruz.

_Geographic distribution._--East side of the Sierra Madre
Oriental in Veracruz, from Jalancingo south to Xuchil.

_Diagnosis._--Size large for the species; tail no shorter than
head and body (100-114.8%); dorsum dark (near Prout's Brown or
Mummy Brown middorsally, Clay Color on sides); supraorbital
border rounded; anterior palatine foramina long.

_Comparisons._--_P. b. beatae_ differs from other subspecies of
_P. boylii_ by the combination of large size, long tail, and
dark color.

_Remarks._--Thomas (1903:485) described _P. beatae_ on the basis of five
specimens from Xometla Camp (lat. 18 deg. 59' N, long. 97 deg. 10' W) and one
juvenile from Santa Barbara Camp, both on the Volcan de Orizaba,
Veracruz. Thomas thought that _beatae_ was related to _aztecus_, but the
differences relied on by him to distinguish the two are the same as
those that distinguish _aztecus_ from _boylii_. Osgood (1909
