Comment:
Comments: Subgenus Sigmodon, S. hispidus species group. Ranked as a subspecies of a broadly defined S. hispidus by Bailey (1902) and so classified thereafter (Hall and Kelson, 1959; Hall, 1981). Specific rank defended based on mitochrondrial DNA evaluations that disclose strong genetic divergence and cladistic separation from S. hispidus proper (Peppers and Bradley, 2000). Molecular studies have so far sampled toltecus and furvus; other species-group synonyms provisionally observe Carleton's et al. (...
