Discussion: Revised by Merriam (1889) and Osgood (1900), who also included those species listed here for Chaetodipus. Chromosomal relationships reviewed by Patton (1967b) and Williams (1978a). Taxonomy reviewed by Williams et al. (1993). Williams et al. (1993) and Best (1994a) provide keys to Recent species.
