The Ohio chipmunk (Tamias striatus ohioensis), also known as the Ohioan chipmunk, or the Ohio eastern chipmunk, is a subspecies of the eastern chipmunk that is native to parts of Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana , Michigan, Kentucky, and Ohio, with some populations potentially present in far north-eastern to western Pennsylvania, and very rarely into West Virginia.[1] It was described by Patterson Bole and Philip Moulthrop in 1942. The subspecies has a very similar coloration, and appearance to that of other subspecies.[1][2]
