discussion
Discussion: Originally described as a subspecies of C. pilorides but tentatively elevated to species status because of sequence divergence of a specimen from Cayo Ballenato del Medio (Woods et al., 2001), however, this locality is outside the published range of gundlachianus.
Order Rodentia - Family Capromyidae
