Abstract

We report the first record of Yucatan deer mouse, Peromyscus yucatanicus, in Guatemala. The Yucatan deer mouse was restricted to Yucatán Peninsula, where it is considered a common species in deciduous to semi-evergreen tropical forests, and secondary growth forests. Two Yucatan deer mice were collected at Laguna Flor de Luna, Laguna del Tigre National Park, Guatemala, on April 1999. This new record constitutes a range extension of 116 km south of the nearest previously known locality at Escárcega, Campeche, Mexico.
