Abstract

During a study of rodents at Cerro Peloan, Oaxaca, Mexico, in the northwestern portion of the Sierra Madre de Oaxaca physiographic subprovince, we collected three Chinanteco deermice Habromys chinanteco. This microendemic rodent is rare in terms of habitat and population, and had not been collected in the wild since 1975. These records corroborate continuing presence of H. chinanteco in this region.
