[PAR] [TLE] Peromyscus [SEP] The genus Peromyscus contains the animal species commonly referred to as deer mice.  This genus of New World mice is only distantly related to the common house mouse and laboratory mouse, "Mus musculus".  Although superficially resembling "Mus musculus", "Peromyscus" species have relatively larger eyes, and also often two-tone coloring, with darker colors over the dorsum (back), and white abdominal and limb hair-coloring.  In reference to the coloring, the word "Peromyscus" comes from Greek words meaning "booted mouse". [PAR] [TLE] Stirton's deer mouse [SEP] Stirton's deer mouse ("Peromyscus stirtoni") is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae.  It is found in El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua.  "P. stirtoni" is widely distributed and is presumed to have a large population and a tolerance of habitat destruction, though its biology is poorly understood.  The species is named after Ruben A. Stirton (1901-1966), an American zoologist associated with the University of California at Berkeley.
