discussion
Discussion: Usually treated as a synonym of G. pyramidum (Pavlinov et al., 1990; also see references in Lay, 1983), but Lay (1983) mustered diagnostic cranial traits seen in the original cranial illustrations that appear to distinguish them. Until a critical revision of the G. pyramidum complex defines the status of burtoni, we retain it as a species following Lay.
Order Rodentia - Family Muridae
