Neotoma micropus (Baird, 1855)

Southern Plains Woodrat

Neotoma micropus is distributed in the Panhandle and western counties of Oklahoma ( Caire et al. 1989). Since Caire et al. (1989), new records have been reported for four additional counties: Ellis County ( Braun and Revelez 2005) and Caddo, Dewey, and Grady counties ( McDonald et al. 2006). A new record is reported for Jefferson County. The records for Caddo, Grady, and Jefferson counties expand the distribution of the species eastward.
