| Author: | Merriam, 1895. | | Citation: | N. Am. Fauna, 8: 23, 26, 172. | | Type Species: | Geomys scalops Thomas, 1894. | | Comments: | Russell (1968a) revised the genus, and included Heterogeomys and Macrogeomys as valid subgenera. Hafner (1991) examined molecular phylogenetics of species in the subgenus Macrogeomys while Sudman and Hafner (1992) examined relationships among species within each of the subgenera. Species limits for those taxa known from single localities or otherwise geogeographically restricted areas are poorly defined. |
