Microdipodops megacephalus: Comments
Comment:
Status: IUCN - Vulnerable as M. m. atrirelictus, Data Deficient as M. m. nexus, otherwise Lower Risk (lc)
Comment:
Comments: Reviewed by O'Farrell and Blaustein (1974a, Mammalian Species No. 46). Hafner et al. (1979) discounted the suggestion by Hall (1941:380-382) of hybridization between megacephalus and pallidus. Also, Hall's suggestion (1981:560) that leucotis may warrant specific status is not supported (see Hafner and Hafner, 1983). Subspecies listed by Williams et al. (1993)
