Peromyscus keeni Rhoads 1894 View in CoL , Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia, 46: 258.

Type Locality: Canada, British Columbia, Queen Charlotte Isls, Graham Isl, Massett.

Vernacular Names: Northwestern Deermouse.

Synonyms: Peromyscus algidus Osgood 1909 ; Peromyscus beresfordi Guiguet 1955 ; Peromyscus cancrivorus McCabe and Cowan 1945 ; Peromyscus carli Guiguet 1955 ; Peromyscus doylei McCabe and Cowan 1945 ; Peromyscus hylaeus Osgood 1908 ; Peromyscus interdictus Anderson 1932 ; Peromyscus isolatus Cowan 1935 ; Peromyscus macrorhinus (Rhoads 1894) ; Peromyscus maritimus McCabe and Cowan 1945 ; Peromyscus oceanicus Cowan 1935 ; Peromyscus oreas Bangs 1898 ; Peromyscus pluvialis McCabe and Cowan 1945 ; Peromyscus prevostensis Osgood 1901 ; Peromyscus rubriventer McCabe and Cowan 1945 ; Peromyscus sartinensis Guiguet 1955 ; Peromyscus sitkensis Merriam 1897 ; Peromyscus triangularis Guiguet 1955 .

Distribution: S Alaska, W British Columbia, and W Washington, west of the Coastal and Cascade mountain ranges and including continental shelf islands and archipelagos.

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc) as P. oreas and P. sitkensis .

Discussion: P. maniculatus species group. Relegated to a subspecies of P. maniculatus by Osgood (1909) and thereafter maintained as a junior synonym ( Hall, 1981; Hooper, 1968; Musser and Carleton, 1993). Specific status, synonymies, and distribution with respect to P. maniculatus clarified by Hogan et al. (1993), who reassigned oreas and sitkensis , taxa formerly regarded as species, to subspecific rank; much morphological, genetic, and karyological information has been reported under those names (e.g., Allard and Greenbaum, 1988; Allard et al. 1987; Calhoun and Greenbaum, 1991; Cowan and Guiguet, 1965; Gunn and Greenbaum, 1986; Osgood, 1909; Pengilly et al., 1983; Sheppe, 1961; Sullivan et al., 1990; Thomas, 1973). About half of the synonyms listed are associated on the basis of distributional proximity and literature reports (see Hogan et al., 1993:829), a zoogeographically plausible supposition that deserves firsthand specimen examination and empirical ratification. Reconstruction of historical distributions to account for divergence of P. keeni and P. maniculatus considered by Zheng et al. (2003), who also discussed the status of sitkensis .
