Dipodomys compactus True 1889 View in CoL , Proc. U. S. Natl. Mus ., 11: 160.
Type Locality: USA, Texas, Cameron Co., Padre Isl.
Vernacular Names: Gulf Coast Kangaroo Rat.
Subspecies: :
Subspecies Dipodomys compactus subsp. compactus True 1889
Subspecies Dipodomys compactus subsp. sennetti J. A. Allen 1891
Distribution: Mainland, Padre and Mustang Isls of S Texas ( USA) and barrier islands of N Tamaulipas ( Mexico).
Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).
Discussion: Considered distinct from ordii by Johnson and Selander (1971), Schmidly and Hendricks (1976), and Baumgardner and Schmidly (1981), who also documented sympatry between compactus and ordii . Hall (1981:565) provisionally retained compactus as a subspecies of ordii . Reviewed by Baumgardner (1991, Mammalian Species No. 369). Williams et al. (1993) regarded sennetti J. A. Allen as a valid subspecies.
