Peromyscus salvadorensis is in the mexicanus species group. It was initially described as a subspecies of P. mexicanus but later placed in synonymy with P. mexicanus saxatilis. Recent DNA studies suggest that parts of what historically have been recognized as P. m. saxatilis should be considered as P. salvadorensis or P. nicaraguae .
