Abstract

Two new species of Neotoma are described from New Mexican cave deposits older than late Wisconsinan full-stadial time. One of these species, morphologically similar to N. cinerea , N. fuscipes , and N. mexicana , is tentatively hypothesized to be a descendent of Neotoma cinerea populations isolated in the southeastern New Mexican highlands since early Wisconsinan stadial events; the other is most similar to the living Neotoma goldmani of north-central Mexico, and likely is ancestral to that species.
