Darien pocket gopher
The Darien pocket gopher ("Heterogeomys dariensis") is a species of rodent in the family Geomyidae. It is occurs in Panama and Colombia. Some authors classify it in the genus "Orthogeomys", but recent research has allowed this and its related species to be classified in the genus "Heterogeomys". It includes the Thaeler's pocket gopher ("H. d. thaeleri") endemic to Colombia as a subspecies. Previously, this subspecies was considered a separate species. References.
