Sigmodon (Sigmodon) alleni Bailey 1902 View in CoL , Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., 15: 112.
Type Locality: México, Jalisco State, Mascota, Mineral San Sebastián.
Vernacular Names: Allen's Cotton Rat.
Synonyms: Sigmodon (Sigmodon) guerrerensis Nelson and Goldman 1933 ; Sigmodon (Sigmodon) macdougalli Goodwin 1955 ; Sigmodon (Sigmodon) macrodon Goodwin 1955 ; Sigmodon (Sigmodon) vulcani J. A. Allen 1906 .
Distribution: W México, from S Sinaloa to S Oaxaca.
Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).
Discussion: Subgenus Sigmodon , S. hispidus species group. Sister species to S. hirsutus according to phylogenetic interpretation of cytochrome b data ( Peppers and Bradley, 2000). The forms guerrerensis and vulcani appear to be proper synonyms of S. alleni , but the status of the Oaxacan populations described as macdougalli and macrodon deserves renewed study and confirmation. Formerly included planifrons according to Baker’s (1969) revision, here regarded as a species. See Shump and Baker (1978, Mammalian Species, 95).
