Tlacuatzin canescens (J.A. Allen, 1893)

TYPE MATERIAL AND TYPE LOCALITY: AMNH 3111 /2433, the holotype by original designation, consists of the skin and skull of an adult male collected at Santo Domingo de Guzmán (16.82° N, 95.15° W; ca. 275 m) 9 on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, Oaxaca state, Mexico .

SYNONYMS: oaxacae Merriam, 1897.

DISTRIBUTION: Tlacuatzin canescens occurs on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec and in the Valley of Oaxaca ; Arcangeli et al. (2018) listed examined specimens from the states of Chiapas and Oaxaca.

REMARKS: A very brief morphological diagnosis and tabulated measurement data were provided by Arcangeli et al. (2018), whose phylogenetic analyses of DNA sequence data suggested that Tlacuatzin canescens is the sister taxon of T. gaumeri .

9 Coordinates and elevation are for Santo Domingo Petapa, a synonym according to Goodwin (1969).
