Heteromys Salvini

	Heteromys Salvini ''Heteromys'' is a genus of rodents in the family Heteromyidae, commonly known as spiny pocket mice. It is the only extant genus in the subfamily Heteromyinae which also includes the extinct genera '' Diprionomys'' and ''Metaliomys''. ''Heteromys'' was recently enlarged by inclusion of the members of formerly recognized heteromyine genus ''Liomys'', which was found to be paraphyletic. Distribution Heteromyines are distributed from southern Texas to Ecuador and Venezuela, and include all but one of the castorimorph species of South America. Like all of South America's other non-caviomorph rodents, they arrived in the continent relatively recently as part of the Great American Interchange. They inhabit mainly forests; some are also found in scrubland. Taxonomy The genus ''Heteromys'' comprises the following species of spiny pocket mice: * Panamanian spiny pocket mouse (''H. adspersus'') * Trinidad spiny pocket mouse (''H. anomalus'') * Southern spiny pocket mouse (''H. australi ...

	Castorimorph Castorimorpha is the suborder of rodents containing the beavers, gophers and the Heteromyidae, kangaroo rats.

	Cloud-dwelling Spiny Pocket Mouse The cloud-dwelling spiny pocket mouse (''Heteromys nubicolens'') is a species of rodent (Rodentia) that is endemic to the high elevations of Cordillera de Tilarán and Cordillera de Guanacaste within Costa Rica. It is contained within the ''Heteromys desmarestianus'' species complex. Taxonomy and etymology The cloud-dwelling spiny pocket mouse (''Heteromys nubicolens'') is contained within the subfamily Heteromyinae (spiny pocket mice), which represents a monophyletic grouping within the rodent family Heteromyidae. It was officially designated as a species in 2006 and is in valid taxonomic standing with the Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS). This mouse gets both its common and scientific name from its range distribution within the cloud forests of northwestern Costa Rica. ''Nubicolens'', or cloud-dwelling, is derived from the Lain ''nubes'' (cloud) and ''colo'' (dwell or inhabit). Originally, ''H. nubicolens'' was thought to be contained within ''Heteromys desmare ...

	Mexican Spiny Pocket Mouse The Mexican spiny pocket mouse (''Heteromys irroratus'') is a species of rodent in the family Heteromyidae. It is native to Mexico and Texas in the United States where it is found in dry, scrubby habitats. The IUCN has assessed it as being of "least concern". It was formerly placed in the genus ''Liomys'', which is now recognized to be paraphyletic and has been subsumed into ''Heteromys''. Description There are seven subspecies of Mexican spiny pocket mouse and there is considerable differences in color and size between different populations. In general it is a medium-sized member of its genus ''Heteromys'', growing to a head and body length of about with a tail of about the same length. The pelage is composed of a mixture of stiff spines with soft hairs, but because the hairs lie flat, the spines are the more noticeable part of the coat. The upper parts of the head and body are greyish-brown and the underparts whitish. There is a pinkish or buff lateral line separating the two c ...
