Comments on the Taxonomy and Geographic Distribu
The taxonomy of microtines is complex and has undergone significant revisions. The classification system used is based on dental characteristics, with species grouped into genera based on morphological similarities. The geographic distribution of microtines in North America is widespread, with species found in a variety of habitats, including forests, grasslands, and wetlands.

In preparing maps showing the geographic distribution of North American microtines, conflicting statements in the literature and identifications that, if accepted, would result in improbable geographic ranges have led to the examination of pertinent specimens with the results given below. The studies here reported upon were aided by a contract between the Office of Naval Research, Department of the Navy, and the University of Kansas (Nr 161-791), by funds provided by the University of Kansas from its Research Appropriation, and by grants for out-of-state field work from the Kansas University Endowment Association.
