About This Book

A previously unnamed subspecies of pocket mouse is recognized and formally described from south-central Kansas and adjacent Oklahoma. The author provides a holotype and a series of ten specimens, documents range and detailed linear measurements, and diagnoses the form as small with ochraceous-buff upperparts heavily suffused with black, white underparts and forefeet, slightly dusky hind feet, and a bicolored tail; the skull shows small tympanic bullae and a relatively wide rostrum. Comparisons are made with nearby subspecies to distinguish color and size differences, and the new subspecies is named in honor of an individual contributor to regional mammalogy.
