 Comments
       
  Comment: US ESA: Potential candidate without sufficient data on vulnerability, as published in Federal Register Volume 59, Number 219, Pages 58982 - 59028, November 15, 1994  
    Status: IUCN - Lower Risk (nt) as P. i. neglectus and P. i. psammophilus; otherwise Lower Risk (lc)  
    Comments: Revised by Osgood (1918); subspecies listed by Williams et al. (1993) who allocated psammophilus (with sillimani as a synonym) to this species, not to longimembris where this name has been usually placed (Hall, 1981; Patton, 1993b). As noted by Williams et al. (1993), at least two and possibly three distinct species are currently included under the name inornatus. Reviewed by Best (1993e, Mammalian Species No. 450)
