Treatment

Neotoma (Neotoma) bunkeri Burt 1932 , Trans. San Diego Soc. Nat. Hist., 7: 181.

Type Locality: México, Baja California Sur, Coronados Isl; 26°06'N, 111°18'W. GoogleMaps

Vernacular Names: Coronados Island Woodrat.

Distribution: Known only from the type locality.

Conservation: IUCN – Endangered.

Discussion: Subgenus Neotoma , lepida species group ( sensu Edwards and Bradley, 2002 b ). Likely conspecific with N. lepida according to Mascarello (1978). Not collected since 1932; judged "extinct for years or even decades" by Smith et al. (1993:152), probably due to a combination of habitat destruction and domestic cat predation (also see Alvarez-Castañeda and Ortega-Rubio, 2003).
