Neotoma micropus (Baird, 1855)

Southern Plains Woodrat

Neotoma micropus is distributed in the Panhandle and western counties of Oklahoma (Caire et al. 1989). Since Caire et al. (1989), new records have been reported for four additional counties: Ellis County (Braun and Revelez 2005) and Caddo, Dewey, and Grady counties (McDonald et al. 2006). A new record is reported for Jefferson County. The records for Caddo, Grady, and Jefferson counties expand the distribution of the species eastward.
