Coendou mexicanus
Description
Coendou mexicanus (Kerr, 1792) Material examined. Table 2; Figure 11.
Coendou mexicanus is the only erethizontid in southern Mexico (Hall 1981). The presence of spines on most of the body make this species unique in the region (Reid 2009). We classify this species as Coendou mexicanus and not Sphiggurus mexicanus following Voss et al. (2013) and Ramirez-Pulido et al. (2014).
