5. Painted Spiny Pocket Mouse Heteromys pictus French: Souris-a-ajaboues peinte / German: Bunte Stacheltaschenmaus / Spanish: Raton espinoso pintado Taxonomy. Heteromys pictus Thomas, 1893, San Sebastian, 4,300 ft., Jalisco, Mexico. In 2007, J. C. Hafner and colleagues confirmed paraphyly of Liomys relative to Heteomys, so they placed Liomys in synonymy with Heteromys. This species (formerly Liomys pictus) forms a distinct clade within the genus along with H. irroratus and H. spectabilis. Both mtDNA sequence data and allozymes indicate that H. pictus is paraphyletic relative to H. spectabilis. Heteromys spectabilis is more similar to H. p. hispidus than that subspecies is to the remaining subspecies of H. pictus, although the two species are clearly differentiated (based on allozymes, karyotype, and sequence data) where they occur in sympatry in Jalisco. Four subspecies recognized. Subspecies and Distribution. H. p. pictus Thomas, 1893 — W, SW, S & SE Mexico (coast of S Nayarit to Chiapas, S Veracruz) ... : Published as part of Don E.
