Heteromys desmarestianus: Comments
Comment:
Status: IUCN - Lower Risk (lc) as H. desmarestianus; Lower Risk (nt) as H. goldmani
Comment:
Comments: Subgenus Heteromys. Goodwin (1969) and Rogers and Schmidly (1982) provided partial revisions. I follow Rogers (1990) and Williams et al. (1993) and include goldmani (contra Patton, 1993b). Subspecies listed by Williams et al. (1993). Given the extent of chromosomal and allozymic diversity (Rogers, 1989, 1990), desmarestianus is likely to be composite, with several described taxa to be elevated to species status and additional species to be described (R. P. Anderson, pers. comm.)
