COMMENTS: Reviewed by Whitaker (1974, Mammalian Species, 43), who recognized 9 subspecies, 5 of which occur in Middle America ( Choate, 1970). Handley (pers. comm., 1989) suggested that floridana may be a distinct taxon; if this proves correct, then the other southern subspecies should be restudied.
