Western broad-toothed field mouse

Mammals

The western broad-toothed field mouse (Apodemus epimelas) is a rodent of the genus Apodemus in the family Muridae, found in southeastern Europe. It is related to Apodemus mystacinus, which occurs further to the east. It is recorded from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia, and the Mammal Diversity Database places it in the Palearctic realm with Agoriana on Mount Parnassos in Greece as its type locality. It was described by Nehring in 1902. The Mammal Diversity Database keeps Apodemus as a single genus and lists the species under the subgenus Sylvaemus, noting that a molecular study had proposed splitting the genus; its IUCN Red List status is Least Concern.
