The American zoologist
In 1968, Robert J. Russell reclassified Cratogeomys to be a subgenus of
C. fulvescens was reinstated as its own species in 2005 due to a genetic and morphological study by Mark S. Hafner and colleagues. They placed it in the C. castanops
No subspecies are presently recognized.[5][6] A subspecies, C. f. subluteus had been described in 1934 by Edward William Nelson and Edward Alphonso Goldman.[4] This subspecies was also known by the common names "yellow pocket gopher"[14] and "fulvous pocket gopher".[15]
The holotypes for C. fulvescens and for C. f. subluteus are both in the collections of the U.S. National Museum of Natural History, Washington, DC.[16] Each specimen consists of its preserved skin and its skull.[17] Nelson and Goldman collected both holotypes: The C. fulvescens holotype was collected in 1894,[2] and the C. f. subluteus holotype was collected in 1893.[4]
