Geomys bursarius (Shaw, 1800) View in CoL . Trans. Linn. Soc. Lond., 5: 227.
REVIEWED BY: E. B. Hart (EBH).
TYPE LOCALITY: U.S.A., Minnesota, Sherburne Co., Elk River .
DISTRIBUTION: S.C. Manitoba ( Canada) to N.W. Indiana, S. W. Louisiana, S. C. Texas, E.C. New Mexico ( U.S.A.).
COMMENT: Includes breviceps and lutescens; see Hall, 1981:499-500. Revised by Merriam, 1895, N. Am. Fauna, 8: 120. A superspecies group composed of 3 to 5 species; under revision by Zimmerman, Heaney, and others (LRH). EBH believes bursarius probably contains three distinct species: (1) a species consisting of ammophilus and attwateri, (2) a species consisting of brazensis, sagittalis, terricolus, pratincola, and ludemani, (3) a species consisting of the remaining subspecies. LRH disagrees with 2 and 3 above. Tucker and Schmidly, 1981 also considered attwateri distinct.
