Chaetodipus dalquesti Roth 1976 View in CoL , J. Mammal., 57: 562.

Type Locality: Mexico, Baja California Sur, 4 mi SE Migriño.

Vernacular Names: Dalquest's Pocket Mouse.

Distribution: Cape Region of Baja California Sur ( Mexico).

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc) as included in C. arenarius .

Discussion: Considered a subspecies of C. arenarius by Patton (1993 b), Williams et al. (1993), and Patton and Alvarez-Castañeda (1999), with which it shares an identical karyotype ( Hafner and Hafner, 1983). However, both mitochondrial DNA ( Riddle et al., 2000 b) and morphology (D. J. Hafner, pers. comm.) suggest separate species status, although a complete analysis of the relationships of dalquesti to arenarius has not as yet been made.
