==Distribution and habitat==
The blackish deermouse is endemic to [[Mexico]], where it inhabits [[cloud forest]]s, and in nearby forests dominated by [[oak]] and [[pine]]. It prefers environments with heavy undergrowth or cover in the form of rocky cliffs, small caves, or fallen logs. Although its exact range is unclear, it has been collected from the eastern slopes of the [[Sierra Madre Oriental]] mountains between {{convert|650|and|2900|m}} elevation, from [[San Luis Potosi]] in the north to [[Oaxaca]] in the south.<ref name=iucn/>.
 
There are no formally recognised subspecies, although genetic analysis of specimens collected in [[Oaxaca]] has shown that these may represent an entirely separate species, which has yet to be scientifically described.<ref name=Harris2000>{{cite journal | author = Harris, D.
