Discussion: Revised by Hall (1941); also see Hafner et al. (1979). Wood (1935), Hafner (1978), and Hall (1981) considered Microdipodops a member of the subfamily Perognathinae . Hafner (1982), Hafner and Hafner (1983), Wahlert (1985), and Ryan (1989 a) summarized evidence for referring the genus to the subfamily Dipodomyinae . Hall (1981:560) and Williams et al. (1993:92) provide keys to species.
