Apodemus peninsulae Thomas 1906 Apodemus peninsulae Thomas 1906, Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1906: 862. Type Locality: Korea, 110 mi SE of Seoul, Mingyoung. Vernacular Names: Korean Field Mouse. Synonyms: Apodemus giliacus (Thomas 1907); Apodemus major (Radde 1862); Apodemus majusculus (Turov 1924); Apodemus nigritalus Hollister 1913; Apodemus praetor Miller 1914; Apodemus qinghaiensis Feng, Zheng and Wu 1983; Apodemus rufulus (Dukelski 1928); Apodemus sowerbyi Jones 1956; Apodemus tscherga (Kastchenko 1899). Distribution: A northern segment in S Siberia from Altai Mtns in the west to Ussuri region in the east (Gromov and Erbajeva, 1995; Reiter et al., 1995, who documented occurrence on Svjatoj Nos peninsula and isthmus in Lake Baikal), and the Russian island of Sakhalin (Abe et al., 1996) and Japanese island of Hokkaido (Dobson, 1994; Kaneko, 1994); an eastern arm ranging south through E Mongolia and NE China (Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, Hebei, and E Nei Mongol), and the Korean Peninsula (Won and Smith, 1999); then extending westward through N China (Shanxi, Shaanxi, SE Gansu to SE Qinghai), and south through SW Sichuan to NW Yunnan and E Xizang (Tibet). We are unaware of any records south of NW Yunnan and west of about 92° E longitude. Musser and Carleton (1993) incorrectly included the Chinese province of Xinjiang within the range, but only A. agrarius and A. uralensis (recorded as A. sylvaticus tsherga ) are known from that region (Ma et al., 1987). The distribution outlined here is based upon our study of museum specimens (Musser et al., 1996) and the references cited above, and is similar to the distribution described by Wang (2003) and Zhang et al. (1997). Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc). Discussion: Apodemus group. Usually considered a member of subgenus Alsomys (Pavlinov et al., 1995 a ) but placed in subgenus Apodemus by Pavlinov and Rossolimo (1987) and Mezhzherin and Zykov (1991), and included in an Apodemus Group by Musser et al. (1996) based upon morphology, which has been consistently ...
