Subspeciation in Pocket Gophers of Kansas, [KU. Vol. 1 No. 11]
Hall, E. Raymond (Eugene Raymond)
Mammals -- Kansas; Pocket gophers
If _Geomys lutescens major_ Davis is correctly judged to intergrade with
_Geomys bursarius majusculus_ Swenk, the name for the full species will
be _Geomys bursarius_ because _bursarius_ is the oldest name among those
available. Some new combinations of names are required. According to our
present understanding, the eleven kinds of pocket gophers named below
are properly to be arranged as subspecies of the species _Geomys
bursarius_:
_Geomys bursarius bursarius_ (Shaw). Type from unknown locality
in Upper Mississippi Valley.
_Geomys bursarius majusculus_ Swenk. Type from Lincoln,
Lancaster County, Nebraska.
_Geomys bursarius hylaeus_ Blossom. Type from 10 mi. S Chadron,
Dawes County, Nebraska.
_Geomys bursarius levisagittalis_ Swenk. Type from Spencer,
Boyd County, Nebraska.
_Geomys bursarius vinaceus_ Swenk. Type from Scottsbluff,
Scotts Bluff County, Nebraska.
_Geomys bursarius lutescens_ Merriam. Type from Sandhills on
Birdwood Creek, Lincoln County, Nebraska.
_Geomys bursarius illinoensis_ Komarek and Spencer. Type from 1
mi. S Momence, Kankakee County, Illinois.
_Geomys bursarius jugossicularis_ Hooper. Type from Lamar,
Prowers County, Colorado.
_Geomys bursarius industrius_ new subspecies. Type from 1-1/2
mi. N Fowler, Meade County, Kansas.
_Geomys bursarius major_ Davis. Type from 8 mi. W Clarendon,
Donley County, Texas.
_Geomys bursarius llanensis_ Bailey. Type from Llano, Llano
County, Texas.
