Description
This species is described as being of medium body size with a relatively short tail.cite-ref-patton20081351-5-0[5]
Classification
This species, initially described as such by Townsend in 1912, was listed as a subspecies of Neotoma lepida by Burt in 1932.cite-ref-vc2002-4-1[4]cite-ref-patton20081351-5-1[5] Patton et al. (2008) revised the systematic position of Neotoma lepida and found it to be a species complex, with N. l. insularis being readily distinct from N. lepida, by means of mtDNA phylogeny and various morphological attributes, therefore reverting this population to its initial status as a species, as described by Townsend.cite-ref-patton20081351-5-2[5]
