Tropical Ground Squirrel
The tropical ground squirrel (''Notocitellus adocetus'') is a species of rodent in the family Sciuridae. At one time the species was originally described as ''Spermophilus adocetus'', but the genus ''Spermophilus'' was revised and subdivided in 2009 and it was placed in the genus '' Notocitellus''. It is endemic to arid upland areas and deciduous woodland in Mexico. It is locally referred to as Cuinique. Taxonomy This species was first described in 1903 by the American zoologist Clinton Hart Merriam as ''Spermophilus adocetus''. In a revision of the genus ''Spermophilus'' in 2009, Helgen determined that it should be split into eight genera, each one of which was morphologically distinct and shown to be a monophyletic clade by phylogenetic analyses. One such genus was '' Notocitellus'', comprising the two species ''N. adocetus'', the tropical ground squirrel, and ''N. annulatus'', the ring-tailed ground squirrel. Description The tropical ground squirrel is smaller than its siste ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
