The Darien pocket gopher (Heterogeomys dariensis) is a species of rodent in the family Geomyidae. It is occurs in Panama and Colombia.[2] Some authors classify it in the genus Orthogeomys, but recent research has allowed this and its related species to be classified in the genus Heterogeomys.[3]
It includes the Thaeler's pocket gopher (H. d. thaeleri) endemic to Colombia as a subspecies. Previously, this subspecies was considered a separate species.[2][3][4]
