Mammals -- Washington (State)
_Myotis evotis_ Miller, N. Amer. Fauna, 13:77, October 16, 1897.
_Myotis evotis evotis_ Miller and Allen, U. S. Nat. Mus. Bull.,
144:114, April 14, 1928.
_Type._--Description based on a series of specimens, one of which
came from Monterey, California. This locality was designated the
type locality by Miller (1897: 78).
_Racial character._--Color pale.
_Measurements._--Two males and 2 specimens of unknown sex from the
Blue Mountains, Columbia County, average: total length 87; length
of tail 40; hind foot 7.5; ear 20; height of tragus 11; weight 5.4
grams.
_Distribution._--The Blue Mountains area, of southeastern
Washington; recorded from South Touchet (Miller and Allen, 1928:
116) and Godman Springs (W. S. M.).
_Remarks._--Miller and Allen (1928: 116) record the dark race of _Myotis
evotis_ from the Blue Mountains. Specimens examined by me are much paler
than _pacificus_ and most of them are indistinguishable from specimens
of _evotis_ from California.
