32. Eastern Broad-toothed Field, Mouse Apodemus (Sylvaemus) mystacinus ( Danford & Alston, 1877) View in CoL

(IUCN Red List: LC)

Distribution: Common and confined to the mountain foothills and wooded steppes of the coastal and southwestern regions. ( Fig. 38 View FIGURE 38 )

Previous records: Mount Hermon ( Allen 1915), Kafroun and Al-Qaryatein ( Aharoni 1932), Qastal Maaf and Slenfeh ( Lehmann 1965), Kasab ( Lewis et al. 1967), Al-Karnah and Ain Arab ( Shehab et al. 1999), Kharabow ( Shehab 2005), Abu Qubays and Al-Furunlok ( Daoud & Khalil 2009a, b); Ain Arab, Al-Bargasha, Serghaya, Jubata Forest ( Shehab et al. 2018).

Recent record: Al-Kreem (2021).

Remarks: A craniometric study by Vohralík et al. (2002) retrieved poor support for the subspecific status of A. mystacinus while a phylogeographic analysis inferred the occurrence of a single lineage in Syria, which is widespread across Anatolia, except for its southwestern parts ( Michaux et al. 2005).
