Mammals of Korea: a review of their taxonomy, distribution and conservation status Jo, Yeong-Seok Baccus, John T. Koprowski, John L. Zootaxa 2018 2018-11-19 4522 1 1 216 624PH 10066 Illiger, 1811 Illiger 1811 [246,542,440,466] Mammalia Muridae Animalia Rodentia 181 182 Chordata family  Although the European species  Apodemus sylvaticushas been mentioned as a species occurring in Korea( Lee & Lim 1974), we here consider that records of the species originated from erroneous identifications ( Pavlinov & Khlyap 2012). Although Musser and Carleton (2005)listed  A. chejuensisas a subspecies on JejuIsland, we treat the taxon at the specific level based on reproductive isolation with  A. agrariuson the Korean Peninsula. Therefore, we list eight species of Muridae(and four genera) for Korea.
