OBS

La queue [de la souris sauteuse des champs] est longue, peu velue, et n'a pas cette touffe d'un blanc variable mais visible, qui est la marque distinctive de sa très proche parente, la souris sauteuse des bois (Woodland Jumping Mouse) Napaeozapus insignis (Miller).

OBS

Mammifère de la famille des Dipodidae (ou Zapodidae).

OBS

zapode des bois : zapode remplace souris-sauteuse afin d'alléger le nom, de marquer la différence de cette famille (Dipodidae) distincte, et de restreindre autant que possible le mot souris à la famille des Muridae.
