discussion
Discussion: A common part of the montane small mammal fauna on north slopes of the Snow Mtns (Musser and Lunde, ms). More than two species may be represented in available samples: series from above 2200 m on north slopes of the Snow Mtns and Tifalmin Valley represent P. wilhelmina, but specimens from below 2200 m on north slopes of the Snow Mtns likely sample a morphologically closely related but separate species (K. Helgen, in litt., 2003).
Order Rodentia - Family Muridae
