Discussion: Apodemus group. Sister-species to A. agrarius (see that account). Included in A. agrarius by G. M. Allen (1940), Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1951), and Corbet (1978 c), but was earlier listed as a species by Ellerman (1941). Currently recognized as a species distinct from A. agrarius (Corbet and Hill, 1992; Koh, 1991; Liu et al., 2002; Musser and Carleton, 1993; Musser et al., 1996; Wang, 1985 b, 2003; Xia, 1984; Yang and Fang, 1988). Sympatric with A. agrarius in Sichuan and Ghizhou provinces (Wang, 1985 b; Xia, 1985). On Wuliang Mtn in C Yunnan, A. chevrieri occurs between 1800 and 2300 m where it overlaps with A. draco, which is more common at higher altitudes up to 2860 m (Jiang and Wang, 2000). Reviewed and contrasted with A. agrarius by Musser et al. (1996). Evolutionary history in the Sichuan-Guizhou region of S China extends back to early Pleistocene (Zheng, 1993).
