Material examined. Table 2; Figure 11.
Coendou mexicanus is the only erethizontid in southern Mexico (Hall 1981). The presence of spines on most of the body make this species unique in the region ( Reid 2009). We classify this species as Coendou mexicanus and not Sphiggurus mexicanus following Voss et al. (2013) and Ramirez-Pulido et al. (2014).
