Abstract

Thirty-seven Eothenomys specimens collected from the Oze district, Fukushima Prefecture, were identified by the relationship between the hind foot length and the tail length as two species of E. andersoni and E. smithii. As a result of the identification, E. andersoni occurs above 1150m in altitude and E. smithii is distributed below 1150m in the northern area (Hinoemata) of Mt. Hiuchigatake, whereas the both species are distributed at 1700m in the southern area (Ozenuma) of Mt. Hiuchigatake. Thus, the upper limit of the altitudinal distribution of E. smithii is about 500m lower in the northern area than in the sourthern area of Mt. Hiuchigatake.
