TYPE MATERIAL AND TYPE LOCALITY: FMNH 19995, the holotype by original designation, consists of the skin and skull of a subadult (or very young adult) of unknown sex collected at Yaxcabá (20.53° N, 88.83° W), Yucatán state, Mexico.

SYNONYMS: None.

DISTRIBUTION: Tlacuatzin gaumeri is known from the Mexican states of Campeche and Yucatán, where its range seems to be disjunct from those of other congeners ( Arcangeli et al., 2018: fig. 1).

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 gaumeri is the sister taxon of T. canescens . Only five specimens of this uncommon taxon are known to exist.
