TYPE MATERIAL AND TYPE LOCALITY: ENCB 26195, the holotype by original designation, consists of the skin and skull of an adult male collected 14 km N and 11 km E Panindícuaro (20.12° N, 101.65° W), Michoacán state, Mexico.

SYNONYMS: None.

DISTRIBUTION: Tlacuatzin balsasensis occurs in the valley of the Río Balsas in south-central Mexico ; Arcangeli et al. (2018) listed examined specimens from the states of Guerrero, México, Michoacán, Morelos, and Puebla, but the species is also said to occur in Jalisco and Oaxaca .

REMARKS: A very brief morphological diagnosis and tabulated measurement data were provided by Arcangeli et al. (2018). Their phylogenetic analyses of DNA sequence data suggest that Tlacuatzin balsasensis is the sister taxon of a clade that includes T. canescens and T. gaumeri .
