Abstract

Nongeographic and geographic variation is assessed in the desmarestianus species group of the genus Heteromys (exclusive of H. gaumeri ). Concordant results of cranial, external, and bacular variation reveal that the desmarestianus -group is represented in northern Middle America by two species, H. desmarestianus and H. goldmani . H. longicaudatus and H. lepturus are indistinguishable from H. desmarestianus . H. temporalis is arranged as a subspecies of H. desmarestianus .
