Abstract
The present study provides additional data on the distribution of two species of the genus Apodemus in Jordan, the Eastern Broad-toothed Field Mouse, A. mystacinus and the newly recorded Yellow-necked Field Mouse, A. flavicollis and contributes to the taxonomy of the genus in Jordan. Distribution ranges with notes on habitat preference are provided for both species. Comparative external and cranial measurements as well as skull illustrations for both Apodemus flavicollis and A. mystacinus are provided. The status of A. “hermonensis” is briefly revised.
