Description

Pitymys pinetorum (Le Conte, 1830). Ann. Lyc. Nat. Hist., 3:133.

TYPE LOCALITY: U.S.A., Georgia, Liberty Co., Riceboro, probably on the LeConte plantation.

DISTRIBUTION: C. Texas to N.C. Wisconsin and N. Florida, to Maine (U.S.A.).

COMMENT: Subgenus Pitymys; see Chaline and Mein, 1979, who included nemoralis and parvulus, in this species, as is done here; Van der Meulen, 1978, Ann. Carnegie Mus., 47:101-145, regarded them as distinct species in subgenus Pitymys. Hooper and Hart, 1962, Misc. Publ. Mus. Zool. Univ. Mich., No. 120, 68 pp., regarded pinetorum as close to ochrogaster and mexicanus in subgenus Pitymys of genus Microtus as did Hall, 1981:816. Reviewed by Smolen, 1981, Mamm. Species, 147:1-7, under the name Microtus.

ISIS NUMBER: 5301410008080036001 as Microtus pinetorium (sic).
