_Liomys parviceps_ Goldman, Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington,
17:82, March 21, 1904, type from La Salada, "40 miles south
of Uruapan, MichoacAin."
_Liomys pictus parviceps_ Goldman, N. Amer. Fauna, 34:38-39,
September 7, 1911.
_Range._--Southern part of state in semitropical and tropical areas.
_Specimens examined_, 28: nos. 100185-100199, 52072-52084, distributed
by localities as follows: Apatzingan, 1,040 ft., 13; 1 mi. E and 2-1/2
mi. S TacAimbaro, 4,700 ft., 4; 4 mi. S and 1 mi. E TacAimbaro, 4,500
ft., 5; 1 mi. E and 6 mi. S TacAimbaro, 4,000 ft., 6.
_Remarks._--Most measurements show a sexual dimorphism in this
subspecies. Adult males are 15 per cent larger in external
measurements except that the foot is approximately the same. Cranial
measurements average approximately 5 per cent larger in males except
that the breadth of the rostrum and length of the maxillary tooth-row
are slightly less. South and east of TacAimbaro our specimens all were
taken in dry semitropical country, where bananas and sugar cane were
the principal crops grown. This subspecies has been recorded also from
La Huacana, MichoacAin, as well as from La Salada, the type locality,
by Goldman (1911:39).
