About this book
A New Subspecies of Wood Rat (Neotoma mexicana) from Colorado is by Robert B. Finley. The text says field and museum studies of the wood rats of Colorado have revealed the existence of an unnamed subspecies of Neotoma mexicana in eastern Colorado south of the Arkansas River. The text says the new subspecies differs in cranial characters from N. m. fallax and N. m. inopinata and averages slightly larger, but cannot be distinguished by coloration of the pelage.
The characters of the new subspecies are most distinctive in the northeastern part of its range near Two Buttes and Higbee. The type entry lists an old adult male, skin and skull, from three miles northwest of Higbee, 4300 feet, Otero County, Colorado, trapped 16 May 1950. A range entry lists cañons, mesas, and foothills south of the Arkansas River, east to Two Buttes, Colorado, and south to Clayton, New Mexico.
