Records of Harvest Mice, Reithrodontomys,
from Central America, with Description
of a New Subspecies from Nicaragua
BY
SYDNEY ANDERSON AND J. KNOX JONES, JR.
Since 1952 when Hooper's review of Latin American harvest mice was
published, collectors from the Museum of Natural History of the
University of Kansas have visited several countries in Central America,
and have obtained many additional specimens. Among these we find a new
subspecies of _Reithrodontomys fulvescens_ from Nicaragua, significant
extensions of known geographic range for several other species, and
additional information on variation in some little known kinds.
Specimens in the Museum of Natural History of _Reithrodontomys
mexicanus cherriei_, _Reithrodontomys tenuirostris_, and
_Reithrodontomys creper_ that are from within the geographic and
altitudinal ranges listed by Hooper (1952)
