Cherrie's pocket gopher (Heterogeomys cherriei) is a species of
Orthogeomys, but recent research has allowed this and its related species to be classified in the genus Heterogeomys.[3]
Taxonomy
Traditionally, the species is subdivided into three subspecies:[4]
- Orthogeomys cherriei carlosensis (Goodwin, 1934)
- Orthogeomys cherriei cherriei (J. A. Allen, 1893)
- Orthogeomys cherriei costaricensis (Merriam, 1895)
Recent study has allowed the identification of a fourth subspecies, previously considered as a separate species:[3][1][2]
- Heterogeomys cherriei matagalpae J. A. Allen, 1910, geographically isolated subspecies found in Honduras and Nicaragua.
