 Comments
       
  Comment: Status: IUCN - Lower Risk (lc)  
    Comments: Revised by Setzer (1949) and reviewed by Garrison and Best (1990, Mammalian Species No. 353); subspecies follow Williams et al. (1993). Does not include compactus, see Schmidly and Hendricks (1976), Baumgardner and Schmidly (1981), and comment under that species. Williams et al. (1993) provide a list of what they consider as valid subspecies
