The Chihuahuan pocket mouse (Chaetodipus eremicus) is a species of heteromyid rodent[1][2] found in the southwestern United States and Mexico. It was formerly considered a subspecies of the desert pocket mouse (C. pencillatus), but was determined to be a distinct species in 1996, following analysis of its mitochondrial DNA.[3]
