| Peromyscus truei (Shufedlt, 1885) |
Peromyscus truei (Shufedlt, 1885) or the pinyon mouse, is native to the southwestern United States. These medium sized mice are often distinguished by their relatively large ears. The range of this species extends from southern Oregon and Wyoming in the north, and extends south to roughly the U.S.-Mexico border, with a disjunct population designated as Peromyscus truei comanche which occupies an area in the vicinity of Palo Duro Canyon in the Texas panhandle.
