Capromys gundlachianus Varona 1983
Capromys gundlachianus Varona 1983 , Carib. J. Sci., 19 (3-4): 77.
Type Locality: Small cayo west of Cayo Bahía de Cádiz, Bahía de Santa Clara, Archipiélago de Sabana, Cuba.
Vernacular Names: Archipielago de Sabana Hutia.
Distribution: In the region of Cayo Bahía de Cádiz in the Archipiélago de Sabana, as well as Cayo Fragoso, Cayo Santa María, Cayo Guillermo, and Cayo Patabán. Extirpated on Cayo las Brujas. On Cayo Fragoso it is sympatric with Mesocapromys auritus north of Caibarién.
Conservation: Widespread.
Discussion: Originally described as a subspecies of C. pilorides but tentatively elevated to species status because of sequence divergence of a specimen from Cayo Ballenato del Medio ( Woods et al., 2001), however, this locality is outside the published range of gundlachianus .
